Dundee cake is a famous traditional Scottish fruit cake. It was first commercially developed in Dundee on the Scottish east coast in the early 1800s, but the cake has roots more than 350 years ago. It is said that the cake was originally made for Mary Queen of Scots in the 16th century. Legend has it that she didn’t like cherries, which were traditional in fruit cakes at the time. Local bakers made a version with almonds instead of cherries, decorating the top in a beautiful fashion with concentric circles of almonds. It became a Dundee favourite, hand baked by those wanting to serve up the finest cake with luxurious, rich ingredients. My family loves Fruit Cakes. So, I keep trying different recipes of Fruit Cake. When I baked this cake for the first time, it was an instant hit and loved by all. Since then I’ve baked this cake umpteen times, and each time it came out just perfect.
