The 88th Bake: Emergency Christmas Cakes
If you haven’t already made your Christmas cake, don’t panic. It’s not too late. If you’ve never tried making a Christmas cake, it’s never too late. My cake https://thebakersdozenbakeoff.com/2018/11/10/mamas-christmas-cake/ is a fantastic recipe, very easy, pretty much no fail. Give it a go. The great thing about Christmas cake is it does get better with age but you can also eat it straight away. This Emergency Christmas Cake was different as it used fruit mince and apples, so resulted in a much lighter but delicious cake, a bit like steamed pudding, YUM. By the way here’s the link to the recipe book I am using if you want a great Christmas present https://www.amazon.com/Great-British-Bake-Book-Baking/dp/1849904839 As you can see, it has some fun, very successful recipes, well worth trying. I have to shop differently this year for one of my daughters as she prefers op shop clothing and recycled ethical purchases. Makes shopping for Christmas presents challenging that’s for sure but it does feel good to be contributing to a charity with your purchases as well as recycling and not adding to environmental waste.
