@Trinigourmet Black cake recipe sounds great! But what do you mean by “mixed spice”?

You and I are exactly alike. I learned from my mother, sister and aunt and it is technique. There is one secret I have and will never share with anyone outside the family and it puts my black cake above the rest.

Hi Helen, thanks for popping by again ! The bottle of brandy is used at the start of the recipe for soaking the fruit (yes an entire 750ml is used). The bottle of rum is used at the end for soaking the cakes (this recipe makes 2 cakes – 13 inch in diameter each). If this is too much, feel free to halve the recipe The entire browning is used as well Hope that helps!
