But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake.
