Asked on 12 Oct 2017 by M-Anne I want to make a Christmas cake this year, but what can I use instead of alchohol, could I use some sort of fruit juice? Thanks for your answer. Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello, In the Classic Christmas Cake, would use fruit juice to soak the fruits. This could be orange, red grape or prune. I wouldn’t feed the cake with anything; just make it ahead so it has time to mature. Kind regards Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey? Why not ask your question now.
