Christmas Cake Time!

These are my two favourite Christmas cake recipes both from the wonderful Delia Smith. Her Classic Christmas Cake recipe has a special place in my heart because it was the recipe I turned to when I baked my very first Christmas cake, a momentous occasion for any novice baker and it had to be just right! But I need not have worried because Delia is a safe pair of hands :)

My second favourite Christmas cake recipe is....yeah you guessed it, Delia again :) I now make both cakes each year and this Creole Christmas Cake is just as rich but it requires no food mixer, it just needs a big mixing bowl and and wooden spoon!  

Whichever you choose you won't be sorry, enjoy!
