Mini Mixed Fruit Cake Recipe
Pages
Do you find this mini cake looks pretty with that muffin liners and dotted dried mixed fruits on top? When you see this Mini Mixed Fruit Cake, does it also remind you Christmas is on the way? Yes, Christmas is only about 12 weeks away, it's time to start thinking for the coming festival. When I saw Shan of 珊言慧语 posted this Mini Mixed Fruit cake last weekend, I immediately wanted to try this easy recipe as its does not need an electronic mixer, all you need is a hand whisk and rubber spatula to mix the ingredients. As I love Fruit Cake (here) very much I have added more dried mixed fruits, dried cranberries and rum into it to make the cake more flavourful and some natural yoghurt for a softer texture. Thank you very much Shan (谢谢你) for sharing this lovely recipe. The cakes taste better the next day. :)
Here is the recipe adapted from 珊言慧语 & Joceline

Mix the mixed fruit and dried cranberries with 1 tbsp rum and set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
In a large bowl, mix well melted butter and sugar together then add beaten eggs, natural yoghurt, rum and vanilla extract ~ mix well with a hand whisk.
