The flour in Classic Christmas Cake
Asked on 14 Nov 2018 by Morley
I have just spent the morning making delia’s Classic Christmas cake from the Christmas book and have realised that I used self raising flour by mistake. I have put it in the oven and am anxiousness awaiting the result. Any views on likely outcome? My husband has suggested I make another one! All the family love this Christmas cake which I make every year. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Amy

Hello Amy,
It may be more crumbly but it will still taste delicious.
If you’re happy enough with how the cake seems I would ‘feed it’ every week of so with a couple of teaspoons of Brandy or Armagnac until you decorate it. The alcohol will make it moister and less crumbly.
Kind regards
Lindsey
