I have decided to make Delia's Dundee Cake from her first Christmas Book.
Will it keep if I make it now, I plan to feed it at least a couple of times with Whisky, is this recipe suitable for that?
Thank you

Hello VickyT
Dundee cake does not keep like a rich fruitcake. It will keep for a week or so wrapped and stored in an airtight tin, and I think that you could extend that to a few weeks if you give it a few feeds (yes Whiskey would be perfect), but if you want to keep it longer, I would freeze it, preferably on the day that it’s baked.
