Great recipe, I use this recipe for my Christmas cake. I use a mixture of brandy or rum and apple juice to soak the fruit and leave it to soak for a few days, mixing it every day. I also add chopped nuts and spices with the flour.

This year I made bite size Christmas cakes as well using mini muffin tins and glazed the tops rather than icing them. I used a good rich fruit mix and soaked for three days in a mixture of iced coffee and baileys...actually it was 'poor man's baileys' but worked a treat. I can't remember who posted the ice coffee idea sorry but I did get it off one of the threads on here. People have enjoyed these as a change from a slice of cake.
