Christmas cake

[horseshoes]

Is it too late to make a decent Christmas cake. I was just looking at a recipe for one and it said wrap and store for at least 4 months!

NO not too late I made mine yesterday..don't forget to feed it.

Great - thanks Clematis. I've NEVER made one before.

My dried fruit has been soaking in sherry, I'm making it on Sunday. It will be fine, but I wish I'd done it a few weeks ago!

I made mine the week before Xmas and it was fine.

No need to panic.

I am doing mine tomorrow. At the moment my fruit is getting drunk on brandy.! Have left my christmas puddings late also. will do those in the next week coming. I hope.!

[horseshoes]

Mine will be on the go tomorrow!

I meant to ask. Do you use a particular recipe?

[ladyalex]

I used Delia's recipe for years :

then found this one which takes much less time and tastes just as good:
