Questions
Fat running out of cake during baking
Like another query, I baked Delia’s Classic Christmas Cake yesterday and experienced fat leakage. I used muscovada sugar and probably shouldn’t have done that! Could this have been the reason? I used unsalted butter for fat and have baked this recipe (not every year) since the Evening Standard Cookbook in the 1970s so there must be a reason. Would love your opinion.
The cream in Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding
Hi! Can I use double cream instead of whipping creak for the choc bread and butter pudding? Thanks in advance!
Leaving a pudding longer before steaming
Hi Lindsey,
I made my Christmas pudding mix yesterday and as the recipe suggests left it covered overnight in the dining room. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to cook it today, is it too late to put it in the fridge and cook it tomorrow, or should I throw it away and start again.
Thank you
June
