Classic Christmas Cake

This classic Christmas cake is one from UK celebrity chef Mary Berry. She has been in the limelight of cooking and baking shows for decades. Most recently, she’s been on The Great British Bake Off, which achieved some international fame – you may know her as the sweet, elderly judge from that show.

This cake is the epitome of a classic British Christmas cake, from the raisins and sultanas running through the dense sponge to the use of apricot jam to stick marzipan and icing to the outer layer of the cake.
