Traditional English Easy Christmas Cake Recipe
If you love celebrating Christmas, enjoy some of the more traditional baking aspects and like cake, baking a traditional Christmas cake will be something you'll love doing. It also helps that I have the easiest Christmas fruitcake recipe you could hope to make for this Holiday season. It's an original recipe that I have baked for years and it hasn't failed me yet. Taking only fifteen minutes to prepare (not including soaking or baking time) you'll have this beauty of a cake in the oven before you know it. So please don't be put off by all the tales of complexity or tradition. This is simply a delicious fruit cake that we 'feed' with alcohol or fruit juice from time to time and then decorate nearer to Christmas. Check out my video of me making the cake from start to finish.
