Christmas Plum Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Christmas is a season for celebration and no celebration is complete without a cake, one of the most sought after cake in this context is Christmas Plum Cake. However as the name suggests this cake does not use plums as the ingredient, well Christmas is any way not the season for plums, what we add in this cake is a lot of soaked dry fruits. These dry fruits can be soaked in orange juice or rum, I prefer the latter, however based on your personal preference you can choose orange juice and still make a good cake. its good to soak them for about a week, however if you are short on time, then you could do it for a lesser time. So for this years Christmas party don’t order a cake from the market, in fact make it yourself with this Christmas Plum Cake Recipe. Ho Ho Ho!<\/p>\n
