A delicious alcohol free Christmas cake?

[HelloWeeny]

I gave up alcohol completely 18 months ago, so my favourite, boozy Caribbean rum cake is out the window. I think the traditional British cake recipe is quite alcoholic too. Is there a delicious, rich, moist cake recipe I can make ahead that isn’t alcoholic?

Or is that wishful thinking?

This looks great! Thank you so much. Knew MN would come up trumps ❤️

It's generally the alcohol that preserves the cake isn't it? So without that it'll presumably need to be kept in the fridge or freezer if you make ahead.

I have squeezed oranges before (more than specified) and reduced it down to replace booze. Or a cup of good tea. Ginger beer. Pineapple juice reduced. Home made rhubarb syrup might be good.
