The Easiest Christmas cake you will ever make

Baking for Christmas is one of my favourite things and when I was given this fantastic Christmas cake recipe I just couldn't believe it would work let alone taste any good. Now I know in the US there are a few jokes about giving fruitcake as gifts but Down Under we enjoy a good Christmas cake.

Here is the recipe I know you will enjoy.

1 kg mixed dried fruit diced
1 Can apricot nectar ( about 400ml)
2 Cups Self raising flour

Optional Extra - your choice of something to give the cake a little extra Christmas spirit. We used Apricot Brandy or Rum :)

Instead of a large cake, spoon into muffin cases and bake at 175 C for about 25 to 30 minutes. A large cake would take at least an hour and half to bake. Make sure you line it well as the mixture is very dense.

 Start with One Kilo of Mixed dried fruit.

 Add 400ml of canned Apricot Nectar, plus your own favourite Christmas spirit, that's optional.

 Add 2 cups of Self Raising Flour and mix well. 

 The mixture should be sticky but not too dry, add a little extra juice or Christmas Spirit. 

Spoon into paper cases in a muffin tin and Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a pre heated oven at 175C.

Enjoy!
