Pandhal Mattanchere Spice Matured Plum Cake, Rich Fruit Cake 850 g

The Pandhal Mattanchere Spice Matured Plum Cake is a traditional Christmas gift from Pandhal Cake Shop in Kerala. This rich, moist 850 g fruit cake follows a recipe the bakery has kept on its Christmas menu for more than three decades, inspired by the famous spice markets of Mattancherry.

Why it makes a great Christmas gift

A plum cake is the heart of an Indian Christmas, and this one carries real tradition. The fruit is handpicked, washed, dried and stewed with wine, honey, lemon juice, lemon rind, candied lemon peel and candied ginger in a traditional bell metal vessel, then matured with warm spices. It comes in a tin, so it stores easily and travels well.
