Thought I’d get adventurous and try making an Xmas cake. Wow, I hope it tastes as good as it looks!
I’ve loosely based it on the recipe above
Recipe as follows:
750g mixed fruit
2 cups of iced coffee (Dare)
1/2 cup of rum
1 & 1/2 cups of sr flour
2 sachets of chia latte
1 pk of glazed cherries
1/2 cup of flaked almonds
Followed method to make however had to let the cake sit and cool down for 5 hrs due to having run out the door to go to work. I don’t think this has affected the cake
Will post follow up of taste test on Xmas day lol.
Cake was dense and moist with a slight spicey rum flavour. Went well with custard, cream and or ice cream.
Really impressed at how tasty and easy this recipe is ?
