Holiday Fruit Cake
What a holiday would be without sharing a Fruit Cake?!…
Although, traditionally it is eaten on Christmas Day, I might have been eating it for the last couple of days 🙂
My Friend Marie from Crete kindly sent me her Family recipe, it is so delicious. She did recommend to add 500gr of Candied Fruits and 300gr of Golden Raisins. Next time I will for sure!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
Enjoy, Bon Appétit & Happy Christmas!

Coucou ma Viviane! Quel honneur d’avoir choisi cette recette pour le 7ème Anniversaire de ton blog! Cela m’a tellement touchée, tu n’as pas idée! Tout comme toi je pensais que la quantité de fruits confits était assez généreuse et je me suis dit “oh mais je ne vais pas mettre tout ça” et en fait oui oui il faut vraiment autant en mettre.
