Christmas Cake Jars: Open for Preorders!

If there are none available on the shelf, they are made to order, so please leave us up to a week to make them, whilst we get back into the festive spirit!

It’s quite the marketing myth that Christmas cakes must be made weeks in advance! Here is a straightforward recipe for a cake that can be made at ANY time. So now you don’t need to succumb to all the early hyped nonsense. Make it ahead if you like to prep, or even on Christmas Eve...!

In the jar: apricots, sultanas, currants, dates, dried cranberries and glace cherries.

In the paper bag: muscovado sugar, plain flour, baking powder and mixed spice.

Buy, or grab from home:

• 75g nuts (optional), eg. almonds, walnuts or pecans, chopped to your preference
• 225ml cold black tea
• 100ml whisky, brandy, Cointreau or sloe gin, whatever you prefer
• 75ml orange juice
• 1 orange, zest only
• 2 tbsp black treacle (golden syrup works too)
• 200g butter or dairy free spread, slightly soft
• 5 eggs, lightly beaten (vegan alternatives available too)
• 20cm round tin

Each jar comes with full instructions, a list of ingredients and some icing options (marzipan and fondant, or buttercream), so there’s no thinking required.

The jars contain gluten and sulphites. If you would like a gluten free alternative, please get in touch and we can make one for you.
