am I too late to make a christmas cake?

DUKE

Doesn't it need to soak for weeks/months?

Surfbabe

Nope - a few days maybe - weeks / months if you've got time. Should be fine. I've left mine till a couple of days before Christmas before and made sure that it had crandy (or whatever) in it when cooking.

yes. the rough royal iced christmas cake that there is a link to in the previous entry is a non-alcoholic one.. i used delia's Classic Christmas Cake recipe but adapted it - instead of brandying the fruits before cooking, i used cold earl grey tea, and before marzipanning, fed it with orange juice. I'm sure other people will have other suggestions!

you're welcome! You're on your own there. The only recipe i have has booze in it... but its all added before cooking, i think most of the booze would boil off during cooking, so it should be safe to eat. If you want to check it out anyway its here. otherwise... i'm lost. It seems almost sacrosanct, a xmas pud must have booze!! i don't know if any of these will help?
