Christmas Cake
Christmas cake is a dessert traditionally served at Christmas time in Britain, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries. It is usually a fruitcake, but other details of the recipe vary widely. Christmas cake may thus be light or dark, moist or wet, spongy or heavy, leavened or unleavened, and made in a variety of shapes.
In Japan, a Christmas cake is traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve. Japanese Christmas cake is a sponge cake frosted with whipped cream, and decorated with strawberries, chocolate or seasonal fruit.
In the Philippines, are fruitcakes in the British fashion, or rich yellow pound cakes with macerated nuts. Both types are soaked in brandy or rum mixed with a syrup of palm suger and water. These cakes can stay fresh for many months, and are a popular Christmas present. A cake made the one year is sometimes saved for following Easter, or even the next Christmas. In the latter case, the cake symbolizes the union with "Christmases past".
