Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 3: Fold in the Fruit and Nut Mixture
Gently fold in the fruit and nut mixture into the batter until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Bake the Mini Cakes
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners. Scoop the batter into each cup, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Let the Cakes Cool
Once done, remove the mini cakes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Decorate and Serve
Now comes the fun part - decorating the cakes! You can top them with a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle some powdered sugar, or even drizzle some melted white or dark chocolate on top. Get creative and have fun with it. Serve and enjoy your homemade individual mini Christmas cakes!
