We believe Christmas = Plum cake tasting.

Don’t you second that?

Plum cake is a traditional dish and its recipe changes from country to country. What is even more special is how people tend to start prepping for the making of the cake very prior to even actually making it. The dry fruits do the magic here! The irresistible flavour is the infused dry fruits and nuts
with orange juice or any alcohol for that matter.

To add a little bit history, Plum cakes originally refer to the early type and style of fruit cake in England which is served widely across the globe, around the holiday season and festival of Christmas. You can serve it post dinner as a dessert or just along with the evening cup of hot tea.
