There can be only one type of Christmas cake! That's a traditional home made rich fruit cake with marzipan and icing on top. Masarap! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Agreed except I have to remove the marzipan - when I was a kid Mum used to only put marzipan on one half of the cake

I've never tried Stollen but do enjoy traditional Christmas cake :hubbahubba:

[stevewool]

I never liked Christmas cakes. :thumbsdown: A regular cheesecake or madeira cake will always be fine instead. That's why mum-in-law always served me cheesecake or chocolate cake during Christmas since I've been here. :biggrin:

[Terpe]

Traditional Christmas cake for me everytime :hubbahubba:

Add to that a lovely traditional Christmas Pudding and Brandy cream topping :hubbahubba::hubbahubba:

My Grandma always put fruitcake (Christmas cake) in a tin with an apple, a year or two later when she opened it the apple had gone and the cake was beautifully moist and delicious!:xxgrinning--00xx3:
