Chezzabelle: Love fruit cakes. I wish I had an answer, as the first holiday fruit cakes arrived in the grocery store. I bought two, then wondered why I had never made one before, as I'm sure a fresh home baked one would taste much better.
Do you have a family recipe that you use? What do you put in your cake. I'm really interested as I've never known anyone who made one.
AThanks for that i did use extra mix to make mine a bit deeper :-) cos i was making 6inches for a few different large families thought if it was deeper it would last longer lol still gotta marzipan them etc.... over the next few wks
I dont have a family recipe tbh i just used this recipe [URL]http://www.deliaonline.com/how-to-cook/baking/scaling-up-cake-recipes.html[/URL] and made some changes i.e. the alcohol i used tia maria instead of brandy, hope that helps :-)
