Feeding the Christmas Cake
Asked on 26 Nov 2021 by Andrewstephens
Hi Lyndsey
I have made two classic Christmas cakes one I will be iced nearer Christmas the other has been dressed with almonds. Both look amazing and I am feeding them with brandy and as recommended. Keeping both covered in parchment foil and stored in air tight containers. How often should I feed the cakes with brandy and once cut should I continue to feed?
Regards
Andrew

Hello Andrew,
Your cakes sound amazing!
We ‘feed’ an 8 inch cake with 2 - 3 teaspoons about 6 times so between 60 and 100mls in all.
We do not feed the cake after decorating or slicing.
Kind regards
Lindsey
Thanks Lyndsey
That makes perfect sense and will do the same up to Christmas.
P.S the Christmas pudding also turned out perfectly looks and smells incredible. I’m all set for Christmas. Many thanks to you, Delia and the team.
Best regards
