    I searched and found a Nigella recipe for a Dark, fruity, boozy Christmas Cake... I think this almond icing will be the 'topping' on the cake. Thanks for sharing. Will post my results closer to Christmas 2017...

  • This is fabulous and so easy.

    Submitted by Pam Moffat on 3. December 2016 - 12:33.

    This is fabulous and so easy. I doubled the recipe, whizzed the sugar for an extra 30 secs, added 2 minutes to step 4 and 5 and didn't see the suggestion about increasing the cooling time so just did the rest as is. Have used it to cover a 24 cm Christmas cake. First time I've ever made marzipan. It was the perfect consistency for rolling out. I put the marzipan straight onto the, icing sugar dusted, rolling surface and on the top of the marzipan so it wouldn't stick to anything. I left it there while I brushed the cake with apricot jam and used the marzipan to fill in any holes in the cake and even out the shape of the cake. Then I rolled out the rest and covered the whole cake. Am leaving it to dry out for a week or so before I add the plain icing. Oh and I only had almond essence so used that.

    Worked a treat - left out the brandy and almond oil and it is still fantastic.  I made to include in a stollen.

    Natcon, I have not tried to make a double batch. I am thinking that if you did try, maybe at step 6 let it run for longer than 10min to ensure the mixture is properly cooled.

    Let me know how you go.

  • Would the recipe double to

    Submitted by Natcon on 17. December 2015 - 17:05.

    Would the recipe double to ice a Christmas cake? Or would that be enough?

    Hi Jacks10,

     

    I am sorry to say I do not know as it has never lasted more than a few days here.

    I did store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.

    Hi Amelia,

    Almond meal needs to be used for this recipe.  I have provided a method to make your own in the first step.
