Perfect for partying – these fruit-filled cakes are quick and easy.

Method:

• Heat oven to 160°C and line two 12- hole muffin tins with paper cases.
• Dice the crystallised fruits.
• Warm the rum and add the sultanas to it.
• Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
• Drain the sultanas and add 10g of flour on to them, making sure you do not mix the flour into them — you must still see the white of the flour.
• Mix the egg yolks with the sugar.
• Melt the butter and pour it on the mixture then stir in 200g of flour.
• Beat the egg whites until firm.
• Fold them into the sugar/flour/egg mixture then fold in the fruits.
• Spoon into the paper cases and bake for 20 – 30 minutes.
