Christmas cake - anyone made it with marsala instead of brandy?

[Tinkjon]

I love dry marsala and am thinking that this could be a nice twist on the traditional brandy - but would it taste very different to a normal Christmas cake, do you think? My family are very traditional and won't like it if I mess around too much with the flavours... slightly different will be ok but it still needs to taste like Christmas cake.

Do it... Just made ours with random crap found at back of lickor cupboard all mixed togetehr.... tester batch tastes gorgeous

I always feed my fruit cakes with a medium sherry which I prefer to brandy, but tbh it makes very little difference to the taste of the cake. Go for it!

I made my Xmas car last year with Marsala and it was blardy lovely - even if I do say so myself!

cake - obviously

Nigella uses marsala
I did a couple of years ago and it was fine. Have again this year.

Thanks, peeps!
blametheparents, LOL, I was thinking you used it as some sort of petrol

I use amaretto in mine and it's delicious. I use amaretto in Christmas puds too.

Think my ake may have been strong enough last year to act as some kind of rocket fuel - lol!l

Aaagghhhh - Why can't I just spell CAKE

oooooooooooooo will deffo try amaretto this year, sounds lovely .
