Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine the dried mixed fruit, chopped nuts, chopped candied peel, and brandy or orange juice. Let the mixture soak for at least 1 hour, allowing the fruits to absorb the flavors.
-
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in the soaked fruit mixture along with the orange and lemon zest.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups.
-
Bake the mini cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the mini cakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
If desired, roll out marzipan and cut out circles to place on top of each mini cake. Finish with a dollop of royal icing and festive decorations as desired.
-
Serve these Lakeland Mini Christmas Cakes as a delightful holiday treat or wrap them up for a thoughtful gift to spread the joy of the season!
