Hi,
Christmas is coming, so I'm looking for new cake recipes.
Would you like to share your favorite Christmas recipes?

PS. I really like cakes with nuts or poppy seeds smile

I wish I could bake a Christmas cake never mind give a favourite recipe. Mine have all turned into bricks so I gave up.

I went to Marks and Spencer, bought a lovely un iced Christmas cake, laced it in Brandy and passed it off as mine.

We like a lighter version of Christmas cake, so I’d recommend Delia Smiths Dundee cake recipe, enhanced by a good dose of whisky, made in the next few days and then fed weekly with more whisky until Christmas. I don’t make it before now because it will dry out - it’s not as rich as a traditional cake.

Jamaican Black cake - it does need the fruit to be soaked in rum for at least a few days beforehand.

There are lots of recipes online. Here's one:
