Fruit cake is the first food item I always buy when I go to England. It is very different from American fruit cake in that it doesn't have large chunks of candied fruit but it does have currents and glace cherries. English Christmas cake is a darker version of the fruit cake. It is rich and moist and covered in a thin layer of marzipan and topped with royal icing.



I cheat a bit when I serve Christmas cake to me and Alex - I always give myself a bigger piece.
