Hi Hazel, if kept in an airtight container I imagine this cake would be good for at least a week.

How long can this cake be stored please?

This looks incredible.

Thank you;-)

Lovely great cake, sis ^_^
looks like delicious…

Thanks Kate, even my hubby loved it and he doesn’t usually like fruit cake!

You can’t taste the pumpkins really but it just makes for a really moist fruit cake:-)

Thanks, it really is moist and delicious:-)

Yes you have to be so careful with pets around! Dogs worse than cats though as cats only like meaty/fishy things!

I’ve only ever made pumpkin pie once and my dog ate it!!

Thank you, a lucky accident:-)

Thank you Nazima, it really was:-)

I don’t know about tinned Pumpkin, it might work but the pumpkin was very wet and so added lovely moisture to this cake. I have seen tiny pumpkins in the shops from time to time so maybe you can get hold of one of these:-)

Thanks – hope you enjoy it as much as we did:-)

No, you need the wetness from the pumpkin for the moisture.

This looks delicious! Can’t wait to give it a try.

Thanks Sarah, yes it was so lovely and moist. The decoration wasn’t planned but at least it fitted with the season:-)

Thank you, it’s well worth making:-)

Well it’s so quick and easy, make some:-)

I once said flour was my signature ingredient or something like that so it was a fab prize which as you can see didn’t take long for me to swing into action with so thanks you:-)

Thanks Mark, I don’t think I’ve ever made a decent fruit cake before so I won’t be afraid again LOL:-)

Thank you, yes it makes a nice change from soup etc:-)

Thanks Angela. I gave up making Christmas Cakes as they were always dry – if I’d had this recipe I would have knocked one up at the last minute as it is so lovely and moist:-)

Oh I hope you do, it’s so easy, especially if you don’t decorate:-)

Thank you:-) If I’d had this recipe years ago I’d have knocked up a quick Christmas cake with no hesitation:-)

Thank you:-)

not only dose this look beautiful but it looks tasty to so good to see a fruit cake being used more they seem to be falling out of favour but in my opinion you can’t beat the classics
