Christmas Fruit Cake

A rich moist, decadent cake


Fruit cake

Christmas cakes are full of decadence with fruits, butter, sugar, spice and plenty of booze featuring prominently in the list of ingredients. You can make your cake up to three months before Christmas, or even earlier if you would like to freeze it, but even with only a month until the big day you will still have a delightful cake for Christmas. Christmas cakes benefit from this long lead-time because the flavours mature over time. Many people mark the last Sunday before Advent as ‘Stir Up Sunday’, the day to make your Christmas cake, pudding and mince pie mix.
