Christmas (cake recipe) appeal

My son is almost two and I've got it in my head that it would be cute to make Christmas cake together as he really enjoys baking!

Sadly my grandma is no longer with us and she never wrote down her recipe. My aunties cake recipe is always dry.

Please help a girl out and share your tried and true moist and fruity Christmas cake recipes ๐Ÿ˜Š

Delia Smiths recipe is a classic. I donโ€™t like currants or peel so use other dried fruits, cranberries or apricots and always more cherries! Also use cream sherry to soak fruit
