Parmalat’s Xmas (or fruit) cake recipe

– soak 1kg dried fruit overnight in the fridge with a 600ml “Breaka “ Chocolate flavoured milk then add 2 cups of self raising flour and cook for 2 to 21/2 hours at 170 degrees.

Should be moist and flavoursome, picking the ingredients up for a Sunday bake. Rum for the cook.

That is awesome! I love my fruitcake and as the big fella says it don't get any easier. Will try that one very soon.

(Don't mind the rum idea either)

The Parmalat fruit cake. You don't pick up on the fact that the liquid was Choc Milk.

A mate suggested that I sholuld have used Coffee flavoured milk - from a similar recipe that he has tried.

All up would be good with custard.

That looks great hotshins.
If it tastes half as good as it looks, you have a winner.

Now that seems like a great idea.
