Do you like Christmas cake? Nowadays Christmas cake is part of the tradition for Christmas tea, with Christmas pudding to follow the turkey for dinner. But what is the history of this cake? Many years ago there was plum porridge (probably with meat) to fill bellies after a day of religious fasting. Next other fruits and a dash of honey were added. After that, perhaps in the 16th century, flour was used instead of oats, and eggs were added. Spices came from the east like the Three Kings. More things were added – almond paste and icing (frosting). And decorations!
