This is absolutely genius! I'll give this a go with my leftover dried fruit.

Could I use a small glass storage container, like those ones you get from IKEA? Other than that, all my bakeware is metallic.

Thank you! Yes, I should think the glass storage container would be absolutely great 😊

Literally the first recipe of Tat's that I saw and fell in love with.

I had never been able to eat Christmas fruit cake before because of the ludicrous number of eggs in every recipe I'd ever seen and my gods the feeding and maturing just sounded like having a child with slightly less clean up.

Tat's Quickmas Cake is easy, delicious, can substitute for the eggs effortlessly if you're an allergy girl like me or I guess vegan?

I even switched it up last year and baked it in the oven because my poor microwave is on it's last legs. And it was perfect.

The spice level is spot on and so much fruit. The marmalade is a stroke of genius. Even fruitcake haters love this cake. Thank you Tat for giving the gift of Christmas Fruit Cake.

Saw you cooking this on a FB reel and had to come find the recipe, I’m hooked and now I’ll be following your Substack offerings 😊👍

Any idea what would be a suitable ‘tub’ to cook this in? Anyone?

Silicone cake mold? Glass dish? Anything suitable for microwave cooking that won't melt or explode and ruin your cake. No metal, you'll start ww3 in your kitchen 🫣
