Christmas Cake traditionalists insist that you must make your cake months before Christmas and feed it with booze every one or two weeks to keep it moist. This has always put me off because I never manage to do it in time. But this Christmas cake recipe is ready to eat in only two or three days. It's delicious - well worth trying.

Ey up our goer Keef. Finally, a Christmas cake that understands my procrastination level! Who has time to wait months? This recipe gets straight to the point-because who needs a cake that's been marinating longer than a fine wine? Cheers to last-minute deliciousness Keef!

Great content, best part of Christmas to me is Christmas dinner followed by large slice of Christmas cake and chilling out with the family 😊

Admire your way of remedying getting caught short! Totally tangential comment: our favorite episode of "All Creatures Great and Small" (from the original series in the 1970s- yes, rather aged I am) was the Christmas one, "Merry Gentlemen". Christmas cake played a large part of it, as it was cut and served and toasted, quite properly with a dram. I have the series on VHS! and we'd rewatch it every year. The tape machine is long gone, but thankfully this digital age means it's still watchable. Forgive this long post, but you tickled my memory of an utterly charming and evocative event, much like yourself, my good man! Cheers!

Soooo impressed. I can pickup a Christmas cake at a local British import gift shop, but I imagine the made from scratch is outstanding. Good job❤ Merry Christmas!

I love that christmas cake, well done keef 👍🏼❤️

@iloveschicken6527 7 месяцев назад

I have never liked these fruit cakes and it's probably because I've only ever had the store bought. May have to try this. Btw.. Beautiful job decorating! Thank you and God bless!

That's a triumph, Keef! Well done. I do love Christmas cake. Mmmmm

@azalea_k 7 месяцев назад

I loved my mum's christmas cakes! Unfortunately, that was offset by the christmas pudding. Ew. If we'd had carollers, i'd have given them all of our figgy pudding. Yay for the good part being featured here!

Very nice and very pretty MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

@jonathanfinan722 7 месяцев назад

Good effort. I've never made one, mostly because we have had a distant aunty who thought it was her job and made dozens a year for everyone. It was usually a foot square, made in autumn and fed all the booze until this time of year. I'd graze on it, given the calorific content, a handful was a meal in itself. She carked it a couple of years back and I haven't been bothered since.

For someone claiming to be rubbish at decorating this looks awesome! I love the specific combination of fruits you included! I’ll have to try it out.

@Keefcooks 7 месяцев назад

Thanks JT - it turned out much better than I expected, but really what I am total rubbish at is piping icing. That's quilting effect looks great and it's really easy to do!

@JTMusicbox 7 месяцев назад

@@Keefcooks absolutely! I definitely was impressed with the quilting effect and am sure I will utilize it in the future.

Always loved fruitcake. However, only certain fruitcake recipes. There are "oh no fruitcakes" (Dry and dense) and "WOW Fruitcakes" (moist and wonderful). And of course, Mother's was always best.

На платформе YT нашёл только одно видео о тунисском торте который, как я понимаю, тоже раньше был традиционным угощением на рождество...

That's a lovely Christmas cake Keef. I've never made one since the late 50s when we had to do it for home economics, and we made a Xmas pudding then too. After watching yours I might just have a go myself next year. The store bought ones have been way below par the last couple of years, no idea why, except for coinciding with the covid pandemic shortages. Belated Christmas greetings. I'm late because I lost my husband on December 23rd, after 60 years together. If I do try your recipe I'll think of him. Blessings to you and Mrs Keef. 🎉 🎄🍁

@Keefcooks 6 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear about your husband - that must be devastating.

@Beruthiel45 6 месяцев назад

@@Keefcooks Thank you. Yes, it's hard. My kids have been great though, so that was a huge blessing. Take care. 🍁👍

@fmcb269 7 месяцев назад

When I was about fifteen Mum let me ice our cake. I'd heard that adding a tiny drop of blue colouring to the royal icing makes it look sparkling white, so I gave it a try. Put too much in, didn't I? - We had the only sky blue Christmas cake in the street!!

@Keefcooks 7 месяцев назад

Excellent!

@snowpony001 7 месяцев назад

Wow. That’s an impressive Christmas cake. Well done! I’ve never made one but have long wanted to try. How are you liking your new mixer? It’s a really nice looking piece of gear. Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Keef from Vermont US.

@Keefcooks 7 месяцев назад

The new mixer is just fine, I like it a lot.😀

@briansussex 7 месяцев назад

Looks great Keef! Hello from a very windy Devon. You make it all look so easy so I thought I might give this recipe a go. I hate peel so my chance to make a cake without the horrid stuff! The missus has gone off to help organise a nativity play rehearsal leaving me on my own to make the cake. Had everything in stock but unsalted butter which I had to go out to buy. Could I have used salted? Also, mixing the fruit into the batter mix by hand was hard as the the batter was quite "tough". Could I have used the stand mixer to combine it? It's in the oven now so fingers crossed. I am new to this baking lark and find it difficult to imagine how that tin of gloop can turn into a cake!

@Keefcooks 7 месяцев назад

Salt can sometimes work in sweet things but I don't know about this. Yes, you could have used a stand mixer for combining it. Merry Christmas!

@elaine58100 7 месяцев назад

Looks delicious! Love the quilting and the holly leaves etc. I'm sure I have read or heard somewhere that you can eat cheese with Christmas cake - not sure 😕😕

@fmcb269 7 месяцев назад

Yes. Use a nice sharp one like a mature Cheddar.

@Jennifer-qo4kz 7 месяцев назад

Hi Keef Delicious and it looks pretty too! 👍🏻 Was wondering if you’ve made egg rolls yet? Those are one of my favorite things to eat. Some people call them spring rolls and I don’t know if you can use that term interchangeably with them.

@Keefcooks 7 месяцев назад

I thought I had but I'm wrong - so it's on my list for next year!
