Fruity Christmas Cupcakes

I can't believe I almost forgot to make these cupcake. I have been so busy with other stuff that they slipped my mind but am about to put that right.

Cupcakes are welcome at any time of year but these contain a large helping of sweet mincemeat and some of the same spices found in a Christmas Cake, so particularly good and in keeping with all the flavours of the season.

The Christmas Cupcake Recipe is easy to make and creates a light, deliciously fruity, spicy cake and can also be a great alternative to Christmas Pudding, if you want a lighter dessert. Wrapped in pretty paper, they also make a lovely Christmas gift.
