Christmas Cake Recipes

The Christmas cake began as an English tradition of eating plum porridge on Christmas eve, this was done after a day of fasting. As time passed by people started adding dry fruits, spices, honey and other ingredients into the Christmas plum pudding.  Sometime during the 16^th century AD, butter, flour and eggs were added to the traditional Christmas pudding recipe, this helped hold the mixture together resulting is a boiled plum cake.

People slowly started baking these cakes using seasonal dry fruits and spices. This came to be known as the Christmas cake. The process of making the Christmas cake usually starts in November.
