christmas plum cake

 

Come December and as soon as its time around Christmas my kitchen is filled with the beautiful aromas of puddings and cakes.As soon as we set up our Christmas tree in our living room we bid adieu to all our worries and sadness if any. And bring in joy and brightness inside our house.

That’s what Christmas is meant to be wholesome happiness all along!!Christmas is also synonymous with one more delicacy THE PLUM CAKE.Traditionally made around Christmas time with many different versions. I too have tried a new one this year.Fishing out all the best ingredients i like,giving it all a nice mix and here it is my plum cake with a difference.And it came out delicious..just the way i wanted.

Whole-wheat Christmas Plum Cake recipe

This is a non-alcoholic version.An alcoholic version can be done by substituting rum with orange juice.i have developed this recipe after trying various recipes and incorporating a few things to make it taste better….you will agree with me when you try it yourself.
