Sorry to mention the ‘C’ word so early on especially on the @Hari Ghotra app ... but I’ve just put the 1st of 3 ‘Christmas’ cakes in the oven. Anyone got any cheeky little spice ideas to go in the next? I’ve already got Cinnamon, cloves and stemmed ginger in this one!

@Hari Ghotra do you think you might remember your fantastic idea before next Christmas? 🙄🤣 xx
@Arthur vdH well yes that is how it was. I remember around 1983/4 we had our first 'computer' istalled at the travel agency I worked at it was called 'Prestel' and we had to connect first and it made that horrible screeching noise.... oh dear! I think I am showing my age😃😃
@dcmorris27 The Internet did exist back then, you just weren’t allowed on outside of academia and government. I was fortunate that it was opened for commercial use just before I left university. Come to think of it… if this is 2018, then this must be my 30th year on the Internet!
@Damian Green no no link it's a weight watchers magazine that dates back to December 1991!!! it could be an antique 😁😁😁 internet did not exist yet back then😁😁😁😁
No link @dcmorris27 ? Thanks tho xx
@Damian Green here is the recipe I use it's a Weight Watcher but no weight watching in mine as i use butter and plenty of the old brandy too😊😊😊
Apricots and prunes in mine too but use ground almonds and crushed walnuts. Pecan nuts sound great tho @dcmorris27
I put pecan nuts dried apricots and prunes in mine as well as all the other traditional dried fruits.
oh got yet to start mine. Better get a move on C will soon be here 🌲🌲
Tamarind?
Tea? Marmalade? Carrot? I’ve got almonds and walnuts too by the way. Intrigued to know what the ingredient you might have been thinking of but I’m getting on with cake 3 now... xx
Same @Hari Ghotra for my parents. Cloves, cinnamon, ginger, stem ginger - had to get second one in while oven was still warm. Very close to putting 3rd batch in in prob 2 smaller cake tins. You remembered what your Hari wrist is?? Happy to try something very bizarre and adventurous 🤔🤣 xx
What’s the second one @Damian Green
You’ve got a little bit of time @Hari Ghotra before the 3rd goes in! I might split it into 2 smaller ones!?? Xx
Like the chill choc idea @Arthur vdH how about a coconut and amaretto. I had another idea and it was amazing but it totally vanished out my brain aggghhhhhh @Damian Green
Mmmmmmmmm yum yum yum @Damian Green 💕
Dark chocolate and red chili flakes works for me. Maybe add a teeny tiny bit of ground coriander seeds or cardamom.
Whisky, spiced rum and port @Hari Ghotra - and soaked the fruit in 400ml - completely soul destroying!!
Ohh exciting you going to feed it brandy @Damian Green ?
Definitely gonna have a look at that @boo - sounds right up my street! Thank you xx
