Tesco free from - Christmas cake mix. Following instructions I a ) Greased my tin, b) emptied dry ingredients in to bowl, went to empty dried fruit into bowl and realised it was DRY. I could barely squeeze a raisin so I soaked the fruit in the brandy for several hours to resuscitate it the proceeded to make the cake. After 55 mins I checked the oven and the cake was cooked. When it had cooled for 90 minutes I cut a little square from the bottom so that I could taste it, HORRIBLE, dry , tasteless and uninteresting, all the things a Christmas cake shouldn't be. My husband said it might be OK with a pint of custard poured over the top, but in fairness he'd eat just about anything with if custard accompanied it. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I'll use my own recipe in future.
