Christmas Countdown: 5 places in Dubai to sample the best Christmas plum cake
A rich, dense and fruity plum cake on the Christmas dinner table is, you could say, the OG Christmas tradition. It predates old man Santa, sparkly trees and an alleged register of who’s been naughty and who’s been nice that year.
Think all the way back to medieval England, when the popular practice of fasting and abstaining from any kind of indulgence for many weeks before Christmas was observed, so that one could be as much of a glutton as his heart desired.
The prototype of this cake looked a little different, more like a porridge, but evolution took it’s course and gave us what we have now. A delicious, fudgey delight chock full of exotic dried fruits.
