RECIPE TIPS
- Walnuts or almonds can be added to the recipe.
- Fruit can be pre-soaked by microwaving on 100% power (high) for 5 minutes.
- This cake should be eaten within 1 month of making.
- To extend the life, insert several skewer holes into the cake and pour over some brandy or rum. If done on a regular basis, this will preserve the cake.
