Do I feed a Light Christmas Cake
Asked on 6 Nov 2022 by AntonioIrranca
Hi Lindsey - does the light glacé Christmas cake require, or benefit from, feeding with extra brandy? And does it keep as well as the classic cake? Thanks

Hello,
A light Christmas cake doesn’t mature like a rich fruit cake but as the proportion of fruit is still quite high it does keep longer than something like a cherry or Dundee cake.
We usually eat it within 3 weeks. It will freeze very well if you want to make it sooner.
We do not feed a light fruit Christmas cake.
Best wishes
Lindsey
