Notes
You’re supposed to leave it in an air-tight container, as it gets better over time, and is a delicious spiced cake to enjoy on a cold night with some sparklers, wellies and jacket potatoes.
Traditionally, leave it in an air tight container for at least three days as it gets stickier and richer. I sliced into it after five days and it was delightful.
