| 2 | oh I've been caught like this so many times, didn't finish preparing the cake mixture until mid evening then realised it would have to be in the oven for around 3 hours mariebee4 - 2018-12-16 21:49:00 |
| 3 | With fruit cake that doesn't need to rise.....can always prepared a head of time and cook at a later date petal1955 - 2018-12-16 23:35:00 |
| 4 | All good! Cake took less than two hours as the tin was square & slightly larger than stipulated. Looks good! Smells good! lindylambchops1 - 2018-12-17 00:09:00 |

| 6 | This isn't a secret, but there's a simple answer to the timing conundrum of baking the Christmas cake: Bake it before Labour weekend, wrap in a clean cloth, put into decent cake tin, and "feed" with a little brandy every week until Christmas. Gets the baking done in the cooler months, starts the countdown to the festive season, and it's one more job done well ahead of time.... and that cake is lushious ...or is that luscious? Is it lushious? I'm no lush (meds preclude that now) but I love my well-fed cake..... Oh, and the spelling of luscious? or lushious? autumnwinds - 2019-12-16 02:15:00 |
