This is my signature cake for every xmas since the last 13yrs. I’ve never used rum as i dont ‘ve it. But instead i use orange juice since iam getting the fresh orange peel (not candied peel as called in the recipe). Cake is little dry but i like it that way. I wouldn’t change anything else in this recipe. And i luv it. My husband loves it too. My kids r chocolate fan, not nuts but they still eat some. I’ve also take this cake to xmas parties n everyone loved it.

Can i substitute all purpose flour with whole wheat flour? Do i need to change baking soda or baking powder proportion?

In reply to Hiral. Hi Hetal & Hi Anuja I want to make this cake for my mother in law & she can’t eat sugar so if I wanna use dates instead sugar / jaggery .. how can I use it ? And do you thinks so texture will change ? ( if necessary I can soften the dates in milk) please can you guide me ?

Hai…
i discovered your blog very recently. tried this recipe twice. halved the recipe …… it came out well. used caramelized sugar. i also added a teaspoon of honey in the batter at the end. have read in blogs that honey adds moisture. my mother enjoyed the cake very much. thanx for a wonderful recipe..
now i visit your space daily. wishing u both a very healthy and peaceful …new year,2014.
regards,
valli.
