The cake that takes the cake! Thanks, mum!

Right. One of my posts explained my undying love for the all important Christmas Cake, Plum cake, whatever you wish to call it. I call it the King of Cakes. You see, when you put aromatic spices, a variety of dried fruits and nuts, rum and wine, all together, I don't see how to result can be anything short of spectacular.

So, in preparation for the annual tradition of plum cake baking, I made a trial loaf of the cake today. The verdict, YUM! And I will take only 10% of the credit for it. Simply because I moved my limbs to mix the ingredients. The true star, the person who deserves almost all the credit for this cake is my mum. Firstly, for engraving the memory of this cake indelibly into my mind. Secondly, for coming up with a recipe as great as this.

This one I will put on a pedestal and stare at, while eating it, until there's none of it left. :) A picture, that unfortunately falls short in conveying how delicious this cake is. To truly appreciate it, you must savor it.

Thank you mom for this.... Really....!
