Christmas cake obviously at this time of year, but I’m partial to the old fashioned fruit loaf / cake or saucepan cake
Don’t forget the mince pies, rich mince and butter puff pastry are the best .... so bad, they are good  |

Ooh, I do like a good Dundee cake.
I haven't made Christmas cakes for years...used to make them in September and feed them regularly with brandy right up until Christmas. You probably didn't want to drive after eating a slice  |

Saucepan cake is basically cooked / boiled on the hob, then fold in flour / egg and then place in the oven for 30 minutes and it’s done  |

Don’t like fruit in a cake. I used to like banana cake, not banana bread or anything with actual bananas in but banana cake. Used to look like a Madeira cake but was banana flavoured! |

Now that sounds like my kind of cake too - even if it is on the dubious side of qualifying as a fruit cake |

I guess I'm a weird northerner, then!
And if we're saying carrot cake counts, I made 18 carrot muffins earlier. |

How could I have forgotten Stollen? Not normally a huge fan of marzipan but it adds something to Stollen
And the limoncello cake sounds good too |

"M&S Country cake is scrummy
Sounds good...is it like the Mr Kiplings country slices? "
It is a round cake. I don't like anything Mr Kipling.
Occasionally one will be a little dry but normally they are squishy with all the sultanas.

Think I know the type of thing you mean and yes a problem with fruitcake is they can sometimes be dry |

Raisin's are fruit
And anything with cinnamon immediately gets my approval - and let's face it cookie had three of the letters of cake...so what's a missing "a"? |
