Looking for the perfect dessert to conclude your Christmas dinner? Look no further! This round 5-inch Christmas fruit cake presented in an elegant cake tin is crafted by renowned baker Fiona Cairns and made in the UK using a classic recipe. It is chock-full of plump raisins, sultanas, and currants, along with tangy orange zest and cherries. After being drenched in a generous amount of French brandy, it matured over several months, resulting in a moist and delicious bake. The cake is then topped with a layer of rich marzipan and snow-white icing shaped like a star to give it the perfect finishing touches.
