In an emergency, you can melt vanilla ice-cream as a substitute for crème anglaise. |
Christmas Cake Help Too Dry
Depending what you frosted it with you could sit it on a plate with brandy
or your choice of liquor. Or you could put it in a sealed container with some apple slices at the sides. The cake will draw the moisture from the liquor or the apple slices. I usually do not frost my fruit cakes, wrap them in cheese cloth, pour liquor on them, seal them in plastic bag and store in air tight metal tins. I have one that I stored two seasons ago and is still very tasty and moist. I am not above adding a little more brandy once in a while. I have frosted with martizpan after soaking but I find that frosting is not necessary. Mary "openscreen" > wrote in message ... >I have baked a christmas cake, that is bone dry.
