Making an Apricot Brandy Cake - stage one

The ingredients shown are enough for two large cakes.

This delicious cake improves with keeping and is an ideal Christmas cake. I really should have started this year’s cake months ago because the one I made last October (of which I still have a little left) is reaching perfection now.

I’m going to leave this to soak all week and make up the cake (stage two) next weekend. I’ll post the stage two mosaic then.

You can click on the links below to go to the individual photographs for more information.

1. #01 Assemble ingredients for stage one
2. #02 Mix the fruit in a bowl
3. #02a The soft apricot mix
4. #02b The dry apricot mix
5. #03 Pour brandy over the fruit
6. #04 Prepared to soak up the booze

More information (and a link to the rest of the recipe if you can’t wait) on Journal of a Photo-dieter

If you try this, please do let me know how you got on and if the explanation could be improved.
