Asked on 19 Oct 2016 by Jackie
I have baked the Christmas cake just featured in your newsletter.
I am in Australia..should I now keep it in the fridge wrapped and in a box? It is, obviously, a lot warmer here than in the UK
I make the Christmas puddings every year and do so with them and they are ok..but not sure about cake
Thanks
Jackie
Hello Jackie,
No I wouldn’t store it in the fridge. Wrap it in parchment then foil and put it in an airtight container. It needs to be kept in a cool place, away from sunlight. Feeding the cake every few weeks with a couple of teaspoons of brandy will help preserve it too.
Best wishes
Lindsey
