Made this Christmas cake a few weeks ago, and have been waiting not so patiently to try it.
I have visitors from Canada at the moment and we had some last night.
I used brandy (soaked in 1 1/2 cups overnight before I baked cake)
and didnt use peel as Im not fussed on it, I just added more fruit.
The 'soaked' fruit made the cake lovely and moist.
Thanks Jan for a delicious Christmas cake recipe!

GREAT cake, Jan. I have to try and keep hubby from picking at it. Every couple of days he brushes the top with brandy. This was exactly the recipe he was looking for. Thanx!

I actually made this fruit cake days ago to serve this weekend, I have been drizzling brandy over it every day. I just cut into it this morning and OMG!!!!!!! is it ever good! I added in some maraschino cherry juice and also a couple tablespoons bourbon, I baked mine in an 8-inch springform pan, and I wrapped the outside pan tightly with foil to prevent the edges from getting too dark, I baked it on the middle oven rack, on an air-convection oven heat at 275 degrees all the way... it can out PERFRECT! This is a fantasic fruitcake that I will be proud to serve this weekend, and I am planning to make another for Christmas. Thank you for a great fruit cake recipe Jan!...Kitten:)
