Is it the same as Christmas pudding? Because that I had. Here, surprisingly enough, when an English friend brought one over for X-Mas lunch. Yours sounds fab, though. I’ve never had it!

We used to put coins in our Christmas pudding, but though I loved the coins, I never managed to get the taste for the pudding. Just too dark and heavy. Glad to know I'm not the only one who likes christmas cake here... will gladly supply you with the recipe, but you'll have to bring the black treacle back yourselves.

My mom's christmas cake is a thing to behold, also made a good long time in advance, and we also eat it for weeks after christmas (not months because it never lasts that long).

FYI, you can get proper icing sugar here, but you have to go to a specialty food/baking store, not a supermarket (Taste in Raanana has it) Do you put coins in it too?
