The delightful Nigella Lawson has a yummy Christmas cake that is perfect for a cozy winter evening.
We had tea with my Christmas cake last night. The cake wasn't at all hard or dry. The fruits I used were raisins, cranberry's and prunes. I zested a bunch of orange rind like Nigella suggested and that was delicious . I had to guess on some of the measurements because Nigella didn't say them in her video. I looked up boiled cake on Allrecipes web site and made that my outline. Nigella used a coffee liquor which I didn't have so I used some cooking rum and some strong coffee instead. I just eyeballed the amount of cooking rum, coffee and honey and coco powder as well as the fruit. It was a very yummy cake and I think you can tweak it as much as you want.
I loved the color of the cake with garland and oranges around it.
You can watch Nigella in action if you wish! She is so much fun and I love her british accent. She uses the best adjectives!
