MINI FRUITCAKES
Fruitcake always looked so festive to me but I did not like the hard citron fruit so I came up with my own recipe using dried fruits and nuts. I place these in Christmas themed petit fours paper cups and give them to neighbors and friends along with the many other cookies and candies I bake. These keep well in the freezer in an airtight container. Just thaw to room temperature and they taste fresh baked and moist. -Lisa McDermith, Highland, California

WONDERFUL MINI FRUITCAKE
These are wonderful to make for the holidays..they always bake out beautifully, and taste so fantastic, and also, chock full of fruit and nuts...This recipe makes five mini loaves, which is great, as you can give away as gifts, or just keep them for yourself...These loaves acctually taste better the second or third day, so wrap in plastic, and store in the fridge, then freeze if desired...I like to drizzle the cakes with brandy before storing them..this makes them extra special

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 (200 degrees Celcius) and line a cake tin with cupcake cases.
- Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until soft and fluffy. This should not take long if you are using soft margarine.
- Sieve in the flour and add in the eggs. Mix the ingredients together until everything is well combined and smooth.
- At this point you can add the cinnamon. Add the desired amount of cinnamon one teaspoon at a time, mixing until you are satisfied with the colour of the mixture. About 1-2 teaspoons gives you the result in the photo.
- Add in the raisins or dried fruit and briefly mix to incorporate.
- Using two tablespoons, spoon one tablespoon of the mixture into each cupcake case. Divide the mixture equally between all cases, scraping clean each spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. These cakes taste light and fluffy hot and denser when cool.
