Dundee cake eggless/scottish christmas cake

This Dundee cake is totally eggless alcohol free originated from scotland. They are made during christmas and its a type of fruit cake that is light fluffy and very delicious to eat. As it is a eggless dundee cake I have used orange juice to soak the fruits. Best part is that there is no long soaking hours as done for traditional christmas cake and it tasty too. Specially they use the marmalade from Dandee so the name dandee cake. Dandee is a small port town in scotland. The main ingredients for this cake that gives all the flavour comes from orange zest and the marmalade. Although they use this special type of marmalade. Here I have used a orange marmalade that is available locally. Actually no nuts are

added inside the cake only blanched almonds for the topping is used. But I have added some cashews which is optional. Other important ingredients you must never miss to add is sultanas, blackcurrant and orange zest or peel. Without these it will never be called a Dundee cake. Its a special cake from scotland easy to make that too eggless so don’t ever miss to try and give me the feedback.
