Taste the Difference Christmas Cake Baking Kit
Home baking as it should be; this was an easy to follow recipe that produced spectacularly tasty results.
Specially sourced ingredients
Packed with juicy Armagnac-laced fruit and buttery almonds, all the sights, smells and tastes of Christmas can all be found in one slice of traditional Christmas cake.
Home baking made easy
We sourced the finest ingredients and devised a simple recipe that even the little ones could help with. All you had to do was add eggs, butter, a little lemon and a bit of Fa la la la la! And you had yourself a sumptuous Christmas cake in around four hours and with minimum effort. The mixed fruit had already been soaked in Armagnac but if you liked your cake to have more alcohol in it, you could always have fed it some more brandy once it was cooked. Over 18? We would've suggested a glass of Taste the Difference Celebration Ale or Sauternes dessert wine as the ideal accompaniment.
The proof is in the pudding
It's the little things that make the big difference. The small pack of luxurious dried fruits you would have found in your Christmas Cake Baking Kit were soaked in Armagnac sourced from small French distilleries. During the distilling phase the Armagnac is passed through copper stills called alambiques before it's aged in wooden casks. It's the wooden casks that give the brandy a mellow yet complex flavour.
Bakers went nuts for the Marcona almonds in the baking kit. Sourced from South-East Spain, they're flatter and more round than standard almonds and have a sweet, buttery flavour - which made them the perfect ingredient to go in your Christmas cake.
