I'm a bit late for Twelfth Night, but I'm probably going to make a Twelfth Night Cake today, using the Rich Great Cake in The Compleat Housewife (but of course, cut the recipe down and make only 1/4 or 1/5 of the original!). I made it a few years ago for the school where I used to work, and there wasn't a slice left; I could barely get a piece for myself!
May I suggest a brandy or rum flavored extract to soak the fruit if making the cake for younger members. You'll get the flavor without the actual alcohol.
Merry Christmas!
Love this video.
Kate is amazing! We're so fortunate she submitted her videos. Glad you enjoyed it!
