Christmas

Cake

Surprisingly moist and decadent, you will love this vegan easy-to-make festive cake. Now is a good time to prepare the cake and skewer the top before adding a tbsp or two of port or whisky to keep it moist every week until icing. Store it in an airtight container. To ice it I prepped the cake with a glaze made from marmalade, which I boiled with a tbsp of water and strained.

You will need: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1kg mixed dried fruit I then coated in marzipan and royal icing.

Put the dried fruit, zests and juice, port, butter and sugar into a large pan over a medium heat. Mix and bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 mins until the sugar has dissolved. Put aside and leave to cool for 30 mins. Mix the chia seeds with 150ml water until thick and gel-like. Then add the chia with remaining ingredients to the cooled fruit mix. Add to a lined 20cm cake tin and bake for 2 hours at 150c.
