Christmas Cake



Secret family recipe!
We have this cake every Christmas morning - it's tradition. And in the spirit of tradition, here's the recipe card we use every Christmas eve.

Notes:
  • You'll need a springform pan (the sides detach from the bottom).
  • Baking time is about an hour and ten minutes. Use a thin knife to test... If knife comes out clean (without batter), the cake is ready.
  • We don't bother reheating it.
  • Lisa doesn't like cranberries (Amy loves them) but she still eats the cake - she just pulls all the berries out!
