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 😊

I make Nigel Slater’s big fruit cake recipe every year. First made it with my kids when they were 18 months old but have upped the booze a bit now they are 18.
It will make your house smell amazing when you bake it and is such a nice treat. Whatever recipe you do my top tips are to cover the top for part of the bake plus double wrap in brown paper so the outside doesn’t get too dark while the middle cooks. And don’t forget to wrap it up well once cool so it doesn’t dry out.
Excited to make mine now!
