Lonehill's village Christmas cake
Lonehill at Christmas is all about the village — Lonehill Shopping Centre runs, sunset walks in Lonehill Park, long family lunches where someone always asks who made the cake. Make the answer a good one: a dark, dense ±2.1kg home-made brandy fruit-cake with glacé cherries, raisins and walnuts in every slice.
Baked a short hop away in Fourways from a treasured family recipe — boiled fruit, hand-folded batter, a long slow bake, then wrapped and matured 2–4 weeks. It keeps for weeks in the cupboard, so order early and serve it at its peak on Christmas Day.
What's inside the cake
Dried fruit, glacé cherries, walnuts, butter, eggs, flour, sugar, brandy, sherry, cinnamon and mixed spice. Boiled-fruit method for extra moistness, baked low and slow with brandy, finished with brandy over the top, then wrapped and matured 2–4 weeks. One recipe, one generous ±2.1kg size (22–23cm) — serves 20+ thin slices. Contains gluten, egg, dairy, nuts and alcohol.
