This is what mine looks like.

I used a nine inch cake tin. I think an eight inch tin might leave the cake with a bit more moisture. I think mine is a bit dry compared to yours despite the whiskey. I've got what I take to be dough patches from not mixing properly perhaps.
I think some cherries in the cake might add a touch of sweetness.

It's a chicken
From a movie, cartoon

I guessed it was a chicken...but I was trying to figure out its purpose, like a can opener or something...

I dropped a couple of slices of cake around to a couple of friends who are on low sugar diets. The rating has gone up They both liked it and one rated the cake 7 out of 10 and the other rated it at 6.5 out of 10.

Good job!
Is it not sweet, or did you use apple or something to sweeten it?

Wow! What a pro. I love Christmas cake!

Wow! What a pro. I love Christmas cake!

thanks! seems it all went right this year We do too, but the kids don't. They don't even do fruit cake for weddings these days it seems (though I have to admit the idea of keeping the top tier for the christening of the first child always struck me as pushing the storage qualities of it a bit )

Maybe a door stop

What...is that thing?

It's plastic Henry! Though that expression is completely un-Henry-like.

Deliberately not sweet. No added sugar.

A chilly and misty one and a half hours at the field today. Everybody went out on to the field as soon as they had finished eating and didn't come back until roost time.
Christmas dinner leftovers for the chickens today and me now I come to think of it.

I can't give my chickens leftover Christmas dinner... it was ham. Way too salty. So on Christmas day, they got bone broth leavings snack. Whenever I make bone broth, I save the mush leftover for the chickens. It makes enough for several snacks, so I store it in the freezer.
