  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and Christmas Spice Mix.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the mixture of butter and sugar. Beat continuously until everything becomes one single smooth batter.
  5. Transfer the cake batter to the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. The inner sides of the cake will begin pulling away from the edges.
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a cooling rack. Garnish with sugar cranberries and rosemary.

Christmas Spice pudding

Ingredients:

  • ½ lb butter
  • Christmas Spice Mix
  • 5 allspice berries
  • ½ cup candied orange peel
  • 1 cup raisins
  • ¾ cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup almond powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • ¾ cup ice cider or sweet wine
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Butter for the mold
  • 1 cup pitted prunes

METHOD

  1. Grate cold butter with a cheese grater.
  2. Place it in a large bowl and add dried fruit (except prunes), buckwheat flour, breadcrumbs, almond powder, baking powder, salt and the Christmas Spice Mix. Mix well by hand.
  3. Add to another bowl eggs, maple syrup, molasses, and ice cider, and beat well until homogeneous.
  4. Pour egg mixture onto the dry ingredients. Mix well until the batter consistency is similar to a muffin batter.
  5. Generously butter a pudding mold. Spread prunes evenly on the bottom of the mold. Gently pour the batter onto the prunes. Level it out and cover with two sheets of aluminum foil. Seal it tight.
  6. Place a small grate or a kitchen rag folded into eighths on the bottom of a pot large enough to accommodate the pudding mold. Fill the pot with water up to two thirds the level of the mold. Cover and bring to a boil.
  7. Cook for 4 hours as soon as steam begins to escape from the cover. Check the pot from time to time to ensure enough water remains and add boiling water if needed.
  8. Let cool an hour before removing from the mold in order to serve it cool.

Let the celebrations begin!
