Additional Information

Recipe & flavour

Recipe: Our Cherry & Kirsch Fruit Cake is made with pure British butter, juicy sultanas, raisins, currants, sumptuous real cherries, and tangy cranberries. Before baking, the dried vine fruits are soaked overnight in authentic German Kirsch spirit. 

Flavour: Deliciously rich, dark and moist. The fruity flavour of the cherry and Kirsch combination is perfectly balanced by the inclusion of cranberries.
