Feeding a Christmas Cake with fruit juice

Firefly's picture
Asked on 12 Nov 2019 by Firefly

Hi Lindsey, I've just made Delia's Classic Christmas cake and I want to feed it but not with alcohol. I've heard that it's possible to use orange juice to feed it instead, but I'm wondering if I should use fresh or orange juice or juice from concentrate? And how often should I feed it?

Hello,

I would not feed a cake with anything but alcohol unless it’s just before decorating.

If fed with fruit juice you cake will only last as long as the use by date of the juice.

Kind regards

Lindsey
