I immediately had two ideas for things to bake with it, one of which was a Christmaspuddingcake - that is, a cake decorated to look like a Christmaspudding

neither The Viking or I are massive fans of christmascake or christmaspudding. i'm sure you'll agree that mincemeat has christmas 'built-in' and my thinking is that if I could incorporate the glorious stuff into a cake then surely that would be my answer
You may also notice that I am using my lovely new Penzance pudding bowl from Churchill, whom I work with……you can see my last Churchill post for Soul Cakes here
It’s been ages since I’ve had a really substantial cake, one that wasn’t made using ‘stiffly whisked egg whites’ and air…so I decided to make this, my version of a Sticky Toffee Puddingcake
If you’re a Christmascake fan now is the time to make one. It’s the beginning of November which means Christmas is on its way and it’s time to get started on some festive baking
A British tradition hailing back to the Victorian era, where families would gather in the kitchen to each take a turn to stir the pudding ingredients and to make their own wishes
I've "discovered" Christmascake only after moving to Ireland those many years ago. The "normal" version would be "fed" with alcohol over few weeks leading to Christmas, but with two little people at home that wasn't an option for me
Yup - it's AUGUST and I'm making Christmascakes. However, I did have a couple of bottles of Mulled Wine left from last Christmas and a bottle of Triple Sec Curaco (bought from MandS) - orange brandy and cognac
Do you make your Christmascake or pudding on Stir-up Sunday. Stir-up Sunday (the last Sunday before the start of Advent) is one of the quintessentially British Christmas traditions where the family gets together to make their Christmaspudding, and all get a chance to stir the mixture and make a wish
If you've run out of time to bake your Christmascake, or simply not feel like baking it at all, and the sheer thought of baking mince pies gives you shivers - those mincemeat loaves are perfect alternative to both
I must confess that as a child, if we were ever fortunate enough to have the opportunity to select a cake from the cake shop, I would quite often opt for the bread pudding
