Christmas Cake prob - salted/unsalted butter?

[WhiteRose26]

Sorry if there is already a thread about cakes but I can't scroll through 101 pages...

A colleague has just made her Christmas cake and has used salted butter (in error). I have always used unsalted as this is what my recipes say. Does anyone know whether this really matters?

I don't think it'll cause a huge problem.

FWIW, my mum always used salted in all baking and it always tasted fine

It won't matter at all :)

Thanks, both, she will be hugely relieved.

Put in extra booze - you'll never notice.

St Delia says to use unsalted butter but then lists half a tsp of salt in the ingredients.

There is so much going on in a christmas cake you will never be able to tell!
