A healthy Christmas cake is all that the body and soul need.
While growing up, baking a healthy cake was out of the question. However, with time things have changed. Our perceptions of enjoying a delicious meal have also transformed. Now, just being delicious isn’t enough, it has to be healthy too. There has been a shift in trend in the last decade.
On my quest to find a healthy fruit cake recipe adorning my dining table, I came across this delicious recipe five years ago. And since then, my family has been hooked to it – especially my little ones.
Now, it’s here for you. Let’s celebrate happiness together.
