Moist Fruit Cake

It is a traditional fruit cake, rich in dry fruits and has a velvety texture. The dried fruits are usually soaked in liqueur for months, but you can add overnight soaked dried fruits in this batter.

Traditional British Christmas Cake

British Christmas is incomplete without this traditional sweet. The recipe is quite simple, but it needs a long, slow bake and a little TLC. The cake is packed with sugars, fruits, and brandy. However, one has to be careful while baking, else the outer crust will burn.

Gingerbread Latte Cake
