Not Christmassy Fruitcake

3 replies

Hi all

A relative has a milestone birthday coming up and has requested a fruit cake. However, all the recipes I can find have lots of Christmas spice and alcohol.

Can anyone recommend a good non Christmas fruit cake (and how would you ice it?). I'm thinking maybe one with more apple or citrus in it so a little lighter

Must be family friendly for kids so no alcohol!

TIA

This is my go-to and it's alcohol free www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/wedding-cake-light-fruit-cake
Otherwise look up Dundee cake

Easter simnel cake could work.
