Converting the gas mark temperatures to fan oven somehow resulted in a doubling of the cooking time (yes I double checked the conversions!) but am very pleased with the end result. I did think 1hr 20mins seemed a bit short anyway. One slight addition to the authenticity of the process was that the cake tin I used belonged to my grandmother, who was born in 1909, same year as Fanny.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944777201042435913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989495098344372691.post-88772741514433221282015-10-16T22:06:12.734+01:002015-10-16T22:06:12.734+01:00No, it's the prefect time, plenty of opportunt...No, it's the prefect time, plenty of opportunties to feed it more brandy!Keep Calm and Fanny Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805757699969350030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989495098344372691.post-27771944725456496752015-10-16T21:53:54.028+01:002015-10-16T21:53:54.028+01:00hi , do you think it is to early yet to make fanny...hi , do you think it is to early yet to make fannys white xmas cake many thanks jason .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989495098344372691.post-19722324811148935202015-01-10T10:13:08.304+00:002015-01-10T10:13:08.304+00:00Fantastic, so glad you liked it!

In Denmark, where I live, cornflour is the yellow flour made by grounded corn. In the UK, cornflour is what I would call cornstarch, right? The super fine white flour, like icing sugar?<br />Have to be sure....imagine Fannys face if I made it wrong! <br />Hope you can help.<br />Anders....a Fanny fan ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989495098344372691.post-45676086752850221972014-10-28T11:16:06.488+00:002014-10-28T11:16:06.488+00:00Fabulous, the sloppier the better!
