I'm thinking about Christmas cake making already. For the last few years we had used Delia Smith's classic recipe but I can't locate it online, does anyone have a link for it please?

I used Delias recipe for years and 2 years ago converted to the Mary Berry. It's blows Delia out the water. Everyone said it was the nicest Christmas cake they'd had!

I combined the Delia and Mary recipes! Best cake ever!

I also went over to the Mary Berry dark side from Delia a year or so ago, and it really was fantastic. I even used it for my wedding cake and got loads of compliments!!

Is the Mary Berry recipe her classic christmas cake? I'm considering making a cake or two this year for the first time ever and need recipe recommendations so my efforts don't go to waste

I favour the Nigella recipe with a tin of chestnut puree in the mix. It gets wolfed down Smile

Yes it's the classic cake. But I don't do her icing- I do 'proper' icing. Much tastier
