  I used a sugar substitute blend of Brown Sugar and about 4 oz applesauce instead of apple juice and cut back on the butter used. Didn't alternate wet and dry ingredients. Took an hour to cook not three hours as used a Bundt ring cake pan and small loaf pan. Came out great - very rich tasting treat! Put royal icing with a bit of fresh squeezed orange juice with zest. Yum, Yum, Yum!

  After 2.5 weeks I took this cake out of the air tight container and unwraped it from the double layer of foil and layer of greaseproof and it smells gorgeous, no more treacle smell just a lovely traditional christmas cake smell, almost like christmas pudding!! I skewered 50 times and poured over a tbls of each whisky and brandy. Update: Very moist but may add double the mixed spice next year. NOTE: this is for a 20cm square cake, but if you use a round pan you must use a 23cm one!!
