With a little bit of help I baked our Christmas cake tonight, it took just over 4 hours to bake but it was Geoff’s electric I used 🙂

I used the Delia’s classic christmas cake recipe and at the moment the house is smelling devine.

Preparing the Cake tin is the first job and makes for an evenly baked cake…

Mixing in the fruit can be a tough job but I had some help with this…

This year I wont be icing the cake, as it has to travel to Les Gets with us, so instead we decorated it with Almonds

I shall leave it to cool in the tin over night then take it back to Kings Lynn with me as Isla is worried that granddad may eat it !!
