Christmas Baking: Fruitcake

Tamara Novacoviç with yet another great Christmas baking idea. A very cute Christmas fruitcake.
By Tamara Novacoviç

This is another recipe from my Christmas series. I was never keen on fruitcakes, creamy cakes were my cup of tea. But I have gradually learned that a piece of fruitcake goes so well with a cup of tea, mulled wine and coffee. I started experimenting with flavors and different types of dried fruit.

The smell of fruitcake is such a Christmas classic…lovely. You can play with dried fruits you have in your pantry. This time I added some sour cream to it, to make it moister. I added some honey as well, for that extra winter flavor.
