Each of us has celebrated Christmas in all likelihood, no matter which corner of the country we belong to. Although it is a Christian tradition, everyone has adopted this festival as their own. You may be one of them. Christmas cake started in England as plum porridge. People used to eat the plum porridges during Christmas. Slowly, dry fruits, raisins, and honey went into it, with an influx of people from all over the globe. It eventually transformed into a plum pudding.
Sometime in the 1600s, oatmeal was removed, and butter, wheat, flour, eggs, and castor sugars went in. These ingredients kept the whole mixture together. Wealthy families in England started baking the mixture to lend it a tastier outlook. The spices that go into the cake represent the Wise Men’s exotic ingredients. The cake or pudding, after being baked, slowly came to be called the Christmas Cake. In November, you will be amazed to know that all Christmas cakes are made in advance.
But no one is stopping you from making one in December. So, read the below recipe and get one for yourself, family, and friends. You can even distribute it to the street children.
