    Mine kind of recipe too, few ingredients, minimal cooking, might make that as a backup for the improvised yule log

    My lot always request lemon drizzle cake and some kind of chocolate cake. Sieve a little icing sugar on the top over a doiley to make a snowflake pattern or make a star stencil. For Christmas pudding we always have pavlova. Not very traditional but still a festive meal!

    How about brownies? You could bung in a couple handfuls of roughly chopped Celebrations choccies (or something similar) before baking, then cut them up and pile them into a pyramid, dust with some icing sugar and maybe stick a few silver candles in to make it extra Christmassy :)
