Is it too late to make a Xmas Cake?

[stretch]

Normally I would have made 3 huge cakes plus a couple of minis —for DH to scoff— by now, but with new job, decorating boys room and bathroom plus general CBA I haven’t done any! 😥

I normally use Delia Smith’s recipe with loads of alcohol. Is it too late to make a decent one now or isn’t it worth it and I should be lazy and buy a ready made? I’ll only be doing one normal sized one.

Cheers! ☺️

Plenty time, it's still November. Just feed it a bit more regularly.

Delia does an excellent last minute Christmas cake which is now the cake I make each year

Ooh cheers!! I like the look of the last minute one. DH will be happy 😁 Thanks both. 💐

There was a last minute one on one of the eleventy billion Kirstie Allsop programs. I'm going to do that 🍰

Jane Asher's (easily Googled) last minute cake is really good too and I now make it every year by choice.

I'm planning to make mine this weekend!!

One tip I was given to fast-forward the feeding was to chuck a couple of tablespoons of sherry over it as soon as it's out the oven. Although the resultant smell of that almost has me devouring the whole thing then and there!
