Light Fruit cake verses Rich Fruit Cake
Asked on 17 Nov 2021 by Anniemel
I’m going to cook the Light Glacé Fruit cake from the Delia Christmas book.
Will it keep until Christmas like a traditional one?
If not, how long will it keep stored in an airtight tin ?
Thank you.

Hello,
A light Christmas cake doesn’t mature like a rich fruit cake but as the proportion of fruit is still quite high it does keep longer than something like a cherry or Dundee cake.
We usually eat it within 3 weeks. It will freeze very well if you want to make it sooner.
Best wishes

I was thinking of making it now and maybe freezing it, so that’s very helpful.
Thank you.
