Christmas Cake

The Ottolenghi Christmas cake starts its journey in the summer. Sultanas, currants, raisins, dates, dried pineapple, apricots, prunes and glace cherries are left to soak for months in brandy and rum. This isn't a quick process, the fruit takes its time, but the result makes it all worth it. Topped with a layer of rich marzipan, broiled to enhance its almondy flavour. This is a Christmas cake like no other. There are limited numbers available, so please be quick to avoid disappointment.
