3 Ingredient Christmas Fruit Cake - CUPCAKE SIZE
Serving: 12
Ingredients
- 750gm dried mixed fruit
- 560ml of milk iced coffee drink *see notes*
- 2 cups SR Flour
Instructions
- These are using our existing popular 3 ingredient fruit cake recipes but scaling them down to cupcake sizes for those who keep asking 🙂
Method
- Combine fruit and iced coffee in a bowl in fridge overnight - for 12hrs minimum
- After soaking time has completed, add flour to the soaked fruit and stir to combine well
- Divide this cake mix into 24 silicone cupcake cases
- Cook on high for 2.5hrs with tea towel trick in place
- Serve hot with a dollop of melting butter, serve hot or cold as a pudding dessert for Christmas or serve as individual cakes - however you prefer to enjoy them - but you will enjoy these yummy treats for sure!
Notes
- I used 2 x 375gm boxes of good quality fruit (Sunbeam brand)
- I used my favourite iced coffee milk drink but you can swap fluids of same volume for juices, chocolate milk or alcohol additions - just keep to total fluid of 560mls
- I cooked in a 7L searing slow cooker. It has a metal bowl so I placed the silicone cases directly onto slow cooker bottom. If using a ceramic style slow cooker bowl sit them in a cm of shallow water first to avoid dry cooking the bowl but take note this will slightly increase cooking time to allow for water to heat also.
- I cooked 2 batches of 12. The second batch will cook slightly faster since the cooker is already hot so just keep an eye on the second cook for time.
- I will store these in the fridge and consume within a few days, or freeze wrapped cakes individually

This is a darn good easy yummy recipe , very moorish and not for sharing ?
I have a non stick searing bowl in my 6L, should I place the cupcake containers straight on the base?
This is explained in the notes section of this recipe Lois 🙂
What oven temp would you class as high.
These are slow cooker recipes – not oven recipes 🙂
Winner! So easy and will now be making this for Christmas .
I soaked the fruit and got ready to make them and found I had not received my silicone molds back from a “friend”.
I so made the whole cake instead and it turned out soft and wonderful.It is great with custard.
Only five stars but it deserves more
Thank you Sarah!
That’s lovely feedback 🙂
Can you tell us more about how you made it whole – as in direct into pot or in a cake tin etc? Times? What size is your cooker?
All that will be handy for others reading this also xx
When I had no cup cake moulds I used a foil bbq tray and moulded it to fit my 5.5 l contempo slow cooker.
I cooked the whole cake on low with the tea towel under the lid and set my alarm to check it every half hour. Very much an experiment to use up a bag of mixed fruit from last christmas.
The bonus was I had UHT custard in the cupboard.
Going to give this a try.
Perfect with a nice cup of coffee.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all. God bless ❤️?
Is the 750g mixed fruit for 12 or 24? I only want to make 12
24 🙂
I’d like to cook these on 22nd. Will they keep well in the fridge until Christmas Day.
Yes that will be fine 🙂
