smells delicious . I keep opening the door to have a sniff. First time I've ever made my own!

I feel like breaking into a hearty rendition of Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Never made cake (of any sort ever) but remember my Mum going bad if we opened the back door (let alone the oven door) when hers was in - should u be opening the door..

But well done you..

Mad - not bad (Mums gone Bad, makes her sound like an Apple!)

ooo - no you shouldn't open the oven door ! But well done - I'm considering making my own Christmas cake this year - but think it's a bit beyond me yet.....my mum always used to make 4 cakes, one for us, one for my brother, one for my grandparents and one for themselves. She can't manage it any more now though

oh dear you are all very worried about the door. its an aga - you can bake a cake with the door wide open, doesn't make any difference!

HRHQoQ you should try it - v easy (so far anyway!)... and the most domestic-goddess-like satisfying thing I've made for ages.

looking forward to pouring brandy on it once a week as well

just posted on your thread - it is just out of a book, so don't know if it will be nice or not really. try Nigella's? I can post it if you like.

I put port and sherry in mine last year, it was yummy! I use a dog-eared old recipe that my mum gave me and it always comes out really well. Must get round to buying the ingredients this week as I have usually done it by this time of year.

ooooh! Christmas! I'm feeling a bit excited now!
