    When I saw you putting the jam on top I thought that meant you were going to put marzipan on top and possibly royal icing later. Would that be possible as I think it would make a nice and not too heavy Christmas cake.

    In aus the brown sugar isn't grainy, we get dried fruit in a pack aready mixed, and self raising flour, so this looks pretty complicated to me. This is a light fruit cake, we get dark ones and boiled fruit cake, which is even quicker. All the best.
