Im looking for a recipe for a cake I can make for Christmas that as no fruit in it as I hate dried fruit.

..we don't like fruit cake either, so I raid Aldi for their lovely Stollen and chocolate log.

I heard Simon Mayo talking about this yesterday - sounds gorgeous! I suppose you could decorate it with holly etc.
