Hi
I will be making Delia Dundee cake for Christmas this year and I was wondering how far in advance I could make it?
.Ihad thought of soaking the fruit in brandy the night before. I will also marzipan and put fondant icing on it.
Thank you for your help.

Hello again,
Just in case you didn't see my answer before....
Because of the smaller amount of fruit, a Dundee cake does not keep like a rich fruitcake.
Undecorated it will keep for a week or so wrapped and stored in an airtight tin but I'd say a couple of weeks when decorated (especially if you brush it with whisky before you glaze it and decorate it). But if you want to keep it longer, I would freeze it, preferably on the day that it’s baked (undecorated).
Kind regards
Lindsey
