With Christmas only 6 weeks away what better way to plan what cake you’ll going to be eating over the festive period… I have put together a selection of popular loaf cakes that I will be baking & selling…My seasonal Fruit Cake is full of delicious vegetarian mincemeat and lovely marmalade it gives the cake a moist centre, I sometimes top the cake with flaked almonds and other times I ice it with holly edibles, my cranberry & allspice cookies are really popular they are crunchy on the outside and soft inside they can stay fresh for up to 7 days in the fridge…sometimes I add white chocolate chunks to the biscuits…another delicious cake is white chocolate & cranberry…its packed full of dried cranberries and melted white chocolate...and here is the recipe.

You will need:

• 8oz white chocolate

• 3oz butter, softened

• 4oz caster sugar

• 2 large eggs, beaten

• 1tsp vanilla extract

• 5oz self-raising flour

• 5oz dried cranberries

Preheat the oven to Gas 4, 180ºC, grease and line the bottom 2lb loaf tin with baking paper.

Break 4oz of the chocolate into a bowl and set over a pan of simmering water until melted and smooth.

Cool slightly. Roughly chop 2oz of the chocolate into small pieces and set aside.

Mix all the ingredients into a bowl using an electric mixer adding the melted white chocolate last… Spoon the mixture into prepared loaf tin.

Cook for 45mins on 180 degrees, until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out dry.

Once the cake is cool - you can either melt the remaining white chocolate and spread on top of the cake, or grate the white chocolate and add some lovely Christmas decorations.

The Loaf Cake Company is currently undergoing some changes. We are adding PayPal so you can pay for your delicious loaf cakes by credit & debit card. I have nearly finished the Christmas Cakes & Gifts Page so you will be able to order your cakes just in time for Christmas & Boxing Day teas. I thought I better start planning for my forthcoming Fetes, I have the first Cake fete coming up on December 3rd at Bancroft School in Woodford Green where I will be making lots of lovely Christmas cakes & biscuits...I am looking to make cranberry & blueberry, seasonal fruit cake, chocolate loaf logs, cranberry & allspice cookies and lots more...
