I used to do a cake decorating course and the teacher had one of these recipes but had been sworn to secrecy by the lady who gave it to her - I was soooo gutted. I would love this recipe too. Pleeeease - anyone???

Delia has one which she claims was given to her in Trinidad.

I've tried it and it's fab. Very easy to decorate too.

Delia's recipe (in her Xmas book) for the carribean Xmas cake is absolutely FAB. I made it about 7 years ago and now am not allowed to contemplate any other sort, even tho it might be nice to have a change. I think her quantities of booze (you soak the fruit for a WEEK in a combination of alcohols) don't seem right and I always add some brandy (or whatever I want to use up). You don't have to 'feed' it or anything, and it tastes wonderful - tho is very boozy. Don't overcook it tho as burnt booze is just as nasty as burnt fruit cake. MAKE IT NOW so it has time to mature, yum, I must rush off and make mine too.........

I rememner one that Ainsel Harriot did in the Good Food magazine last year. They may be able to help. I remember that you soaked fruit for ages and then blitzed in magimix.
