Simmer and Stir Christmas Cake
The day I baked this cake my neighbours too came asking ‘what that heavenly smell was’.
No soaking for a month or two. Prepare a day or two in advance and give it all the time to bake. What you have is a Christmassy smelling house making it difficult to resist waiting till Christmas.

To give you a glimpse of the ingredients: Brandy/Sherry/Whisky/Rum, mix of dried fruits, orange juice, ground almond, spices and many more.
