Whether it’s a traditional Christmas cake, a luxurious wedding cake, or a celebration cake for someone special, learning how to scale fruit cake recipes up and down ensures that every slice is consistently rich, moist, and full of flavour.

Our comprehensive guide to scaling cake recipes shows you exactly how to adjust ingredient amounts, tin sizes, baking times, and oven temperatures so Delia’s Rich Fruit Cake turns out perfectly for your tin size whether it's round or square. Once your cake is baked it needs to be stored properly and feeding your fruit cake makes sure it keeps it moist and enhances the deep flavour.  Simply wrap the cooled cake in parchment and foil, store it in an airtight container, and feed it every week or two with your favourite spirit—brandy, rum, or sherry—even orange juice, for a luxurious, matured taste.
