Homemade Christmas cake should be made a month or two before Christmasif possible and ‘fed’ weekly by poking a few holes in it and sprinkling more alcohol over top, but pre-soaking the fruit means you can probably get away with making it a little closer to the time. I’m told that Nana pre-soaked her fruit for much longer than the recipe calls for, ...
You need a very deep round cake pan for this recipe. Nana used an 8 inch (20 cm) pan, but I have used a 10 inch pan with great success. Provided the cake pan is at least 2½ inches (6 to 7 cm) deep, it should be fine. (The baking time may be slightly reduced as the cake is not as thick.) If you can find a pan that has a loose bottom it really is muc...

Dec 18, 2020 · This is an easy Christmas Cake that requires no overnight fruit soaking. It's a fruit cake that's incredibly easy to make, with a rich, velvety texture that's full flavoured and so moist it can be eaten plain. (But no one turns away a slosh of custard!) Just as good made on the day – or weeks later.
