Christmas cake
Making my christmas cake is something I look forward to each November. For me it is the first marker of the festive season. Every year I use a different recipe. Years ago I would diligently follow recipes searching for the perfect one. These days I'm inspired by one of my daughters who makes amazing cakes but never repeats a recipe. Most of her baking is a spontaneous affair. She understands the chemistry of cake making and creates recipes as she goes along. A few years back she made christmas cakes as christmas presents. About 12 cakes from memory, with three variations. It was hard to choose which one of the three variations was most delectable. In her usual style she has no record of the specifics, and I've been trying to recreate them ever since. My favorite essentials are chunks of dark chocolate and ginger and this time I have used coriander and cardamom powder. Another element is my home made mixed peel delicious and far superior in flavour to the shop bought stuff. It has added a cointreau like flavour to the raw mixture. I confess I licked the bowl clean!
