Fish and Chips DIY

[Bugbear]

Dundee is a lovely fruit cake, decorated on the top with whole blanched almonds, which are positioned on the top before cooking. The cake is a bit lighter in colour and density of fruit than a traditional fruit cake. When I make it I often put a bit of marmalade into the mixture , instead of some of the sugar, this makes it moist as well as enhancing the orange flavour, which I always think of being very "Dundee!"

That sounds good, Paul; I like fruit cake.

The recipe I have suggests putting the peal of an orange in the mix, but calls for candied peal, as well. It also says fruit cakes are best if aged for a few months in a cool place. Must be a keeper.

I usually bake a Dundee a few weeks befire I need it, but I never really think of it as a keeping cake, unlike a Rich Fruit cake ( for Christmas usually) which I usually bake around now so that it can have at least 3 months to age!!
