Our quick and easy take on a traditional Christmas classic. It produces a perfectly moist fruit cake every time. If you want to have a little fun try swapping the white mud cake mix for a dark chocolate mud cake mix.

Ingredients

• 1x white mud cake mix

• 300ml boiling water

• 125g butter

• 500g dried fruit

• 2 tsp mixed spice

• 1 tsp dried ginger

Method

1. Combine 500g of dried fruit mixed with 1/3 cup of brandy in a bowl.

2. Cover with cling wrap and allow to soak overnight. Tip: chop fruit to allow the cake to cut easily.
