If you’re looking for a different kind of Christmas Cake, Delia Smith’s Creole Christmas Cake may be the answer. It’s a boozy affair that includes rum, brandy, cherry brandy and Angostura Bitters making it a very adult cake indeed. In this video, watch Delia Smith take you through the steps of making this seasonal “classic”. Be warned, it takes a week of pre-soaking the ingredients, so don’t try this at the last minute!
