My alarm went off at 00:30am and I gingerly crept down the stairs to investigate how my cake was doing.
I used a metal kebab skewer and thrust it into the center of the cake a few times to check it was cooked. Every time the skewer came out clean which meant it was done.
I placed the cake, still in it’s tin, on my wire rack to cool and crept back into bed.
In the morning I removed the cake from it’s tin and paper and placed it back in the rack to cool some more as it was still warm. I placed a clean tea towel over the top and went off to work.
Tonight when I got in from work I wrapped the cake in layers of baking parchment and foil and placed it in a plastic cake box. After spiking the cake with the metal skewer I fed the cake by sprinkling a few tea spoons of brandy over the top. Carefully wrapped it back up and placed the lid back on the box.
I will keep feeding the cake until nearer to christmas when I will attemp the icing.
