No British Christmas is complete without a classic Christmas Cake, and last week I finally found time to make mine.

This year I used Delia Smiths Classic Recipe.

Yesterday was stir up Sunday…..Stir Up Sunday is traditionally the day the pudding is made, about five weeks before Christmas and associated with the last Sunday before the Christian season of Advent.

I would love to make my own Christmas pudding using the recipe that Geoff’s mum used to use but although I think about it every year, I just never find the time.

The fact that it takes 8 hours to steam kind of makes it hard for me , which is a shame as I think Christmas Pudding is the best part of Christmas.
