I am going to make Lemon and Lime Refrigerator Cake but I only have gelatine leaves ( I am not making it vegetarian). Please can you tell me how many to use and how to incorporate the soaked leaves into the egg yolk/ sugar/juice and zest mixture.

Substituting fruits in Creole Cake
Hi Lindsey,
I do not like glace fruit, dried figs or candied peel, hence never eat Xmas cake. But I do like other dried fruit eg sultanas, cranberries & the other fruits in your recipe. I would like to try your Creole Xmas cake. Can you suggest replacements for the peel & cherries pls?
