Posted by Everyone would agree and no one would object that Christmas is nothing without cakes. Be it the fitness conscious adults who stay away from buttery sponges or the candy craving kids who wait impatiently for their shares. There are a few musts for these yummy cakes that make up the centerpieces of our tables on Christmas. First, the cake sponge should be amply moist. It should never be dry and yet they should maintain a soft texture which is not too heavy. A combination of dry fruits and nuts like dark raisins, cherries and other berries, orange zest, and nuts only go on to make the cakes richer. But the standard is not the rule! We can always go creative and mix and match various elements to come up with something new, unique and of course, delicious. Here is a list of ten cakes you can start off with:
- Christmas Tree Cake: This is the perfect cake which allows unlimited creativity and also serves as a decoration- until it’s finished, of course!
- Red Velvet Cakes: If red is not the color for Christmas, then we don’t know what is! Red Velvets are enjoyed by one and all but it is not usually associated with Christmas
