Traditional Christmas Cake/ Irish Whiskey Fed Christmas Cake

Thanks for the perfect measurements in gms

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

I use grammes so it's easier for me to put my recipes in them. Cups etc leave too much to chance depending on the size of a cup. They vary from country to country lol

Can't wait to make it for Christmas

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

Thanks. I've mine already made and just maturing in the pantry.

@@MarksHomeKitchen Made mine today (without treacle) and it's time to mature as we countdown till Christmas

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

@@think.why_not thanks, can you let me know how it turned out for you. I hope you enjoy it

[@think.why_not]

@@MarksHomeKitchen Sure! I'll get back to you on 25th. I tasted the leftover crumbs on the parchment after wrapping it up for maturing and it's pretty sweet so far. I can't wait to cut it open though 😁

@@MarksHomeKitchen Merry Christmas from India. My family loved the cake and gobbled it up. I wish I had added blackjack or treacle for the colour and caramelization only. Overall it passed my expectations. Thank you for the recipe, btw

[@RhubarbAndCod]

One of my holiday favorites. I love feeding these and enjoying the great scent of them as they get wonderfully soaked. Thanks for this Mark.

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

Yeah I love feeding the cakes. Finding it harder not to sample the whiskey lol. 😆

[@RhubarbAndCod]

@@MarksHomeKitchen The trick is to just lean in and sample, my friend.

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

@@RhubarbAndCod yeah but here in Ireland "just one" means a long weekend on it haha

Dear Marks, could you please let me know how many weeks before Xmas are you preparing your irish Xmas whiskey cake ? TIA ! All the best and thank you for all your recipes! And BTW, do you have a traditionnal guiness bread recipe, same as we can enjoy in Dublin pubs with a good soup ! :)

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

Hi Gaelle I prepare my cake about 6 weeks before Xmas. If you're going to make it then I would try this week. The longer it can be left the better. The Guinness bread that you're asking about is here on this video. Thank you for your support and I hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHexlKaujNdjepY

Is treacle the same as molasses?

[@MarksHomeKitchen]

It's the same as blackstrap molasses. Hope this helps treacle has a slightly bitter taste whereas molasses is sweeter.
