Gluten free Christmas Cake
Hello - I have used Delia's Rich Fruit Cake recipe at Christmas for many years, but now need to make it gluten free. Can i just directly substitute the flour for gluten free flour, or do I need to make other adjustments such as using less flour or using more egg, to make the mixture wetter? Thank you

Hi
Using a deeper cake tin.
I am making Delia’s Pear and Almond Cake with a Streusel Topping. Would it be ok to cook it in a cake tin with a loose base or a springform tin as my sponge tins aren’t very deep. Thank you.

Christmas Cake without currants
I am making a Christmas cake but don't like currants. What fruits can I use to compensate or would Delia's Classic Christmas cake be ok with just sultanas and raisins?
Thanking you.
