Hi Katalin I do have a good fruit cake recipe,shall have to see if it has melted butter.Any particular reason why you dont cream the butter! In fact I have more than one,so will check them all and get back to you.

katalin2 I Highly Recommend you get theSanyo hand mixer. They are cheap but they have heaps of power when making big lots! Then its just a case of standing there and mixing for a good few mins when creaming but and sugar!When it comes to adding the dry stuff, I change to a good woodenspoon. I promise, you will Never regret buying this:)

I don't cream butter as I love cooking/baking/entertaining but I am really busy and like to make cakes that are quick- I tasted a melt butter fruitcake recently and it was lovely. If all fails I will do the creaming thing- was hoping someone might have had a melt one.

A baba tin is a ring tin with fluting inside,makes a nice shaped cake,but I am sure a ring tin will suffice.
