What can I use as a substitute for sherry please? Would fruit juice (maybe orange) be ok?Chelsea Sugar:Yes, fruit juice would be a good substitute for sherry.

Can you give me a cooking time if using little oblong baking tins measuring 13cm length x 7cm width. Would it be similar time to Texas muffin tins?? Would love to try this recipe for little Christmas cakes to give as gifts.Chelsea Sugar:The estimated bake time would be 65 minutes. For best results, please use the tin sizes advised in the recipe.

Method
Put butter, sugar, fruit, sherry, spice, baking soda and syrup into a saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring often. Allow to cool (at least 1 hour).
Heat oven to 150°C and grease muffin tray (regular or Texas muffin sized). Beat eggs and stir through cooled fruit. Sift dry ingredients then mix thoroughly with the fruit mixture and orange zest. Spoon into muffin tray then bake for 50 - 55 minutes (regular muffin tin), or 60 - 65 minutes (Texas muffin tin). Decorate once cool.
Topping : Heat syrup, mix in fruit and nuts then spoon mixture carefully on to cakes and allow to set.
Makes 16 regular muffin sized cakes or 12 Texas muffin sized cakes.
Tip: This delicious, moist cake mix is perfect for a large family sized Christmas cake - double the mixture to make 2 medium sized Christmas cakes (20cm) or 1 large, deep (26cm) + 1 very small (10cm) Christmas cake. Triple line the sides of cake tin with baking paper, ensure it extends above the sides. Remember to adjust cooking time and check cakes regularly.
