Country Fare Cake of Two Halves 1kg

Product number: 61988

A serious debate that splits the nation and many a household during the festive season – should a Christmas cake be iced or not? Country Fare have kindly laid this age-old debate to rest by creating their Cake of Two Halves.

The best of both worlds, half of the cake is covered with a layer of luxuriantly creamy, melt-in-the-mouth almond paste, finished off with a scrumptious layer of white fondant icing decorated with a Christmas tree and stars, while the other half is topped with a delicious mix of nuts and cherries, so you can keep everyone happy this Christmas.

Award-winning family recipe

We weren’t surprised at all to hear that this rich, carefully-baked cake is a winner of a Great Taste Award. Made to a family recipe that dates back to the 1920s when the quality of a Christmas cake was taken very seriously (and quite right, too!), this gorgeous little bake has been perfected in the century since its first incarnation so you can be sure you’re giving something really special. Hand-fed with French brandy, a little slice will round off the festive treat in the most delicious way.

About Country Fare

Based in the picturesque Cumbrian valley of Mallerstang, Dianne Halliday has converted a barn in the grounds of her working sheep farm into a real cottage industry. Inspired by traditional family bakes that have been passed down and perfected through the generations, she and her team of baking experts, gathered from the surrounding farming community, use the freshest possible ingredients to make unbelievably delicious fruit cakes.

Something magical occurs before a finished product leaves the Country Fare bakery, resulting in the moistest, most flavoursome fruit cake imaginable. Maybe it’s something in the beautifully fresh air of the valley where Dianne and her expert team do their baking. Maybe it’s the fact they bake everything by hand using only the finest local ingredients. Maybe it’s down to the time-honoured family recipes, taste-tested and refined through the ages… Whatever it is, the results speak for themselves – there really is no other cake quite like a Country Fare Cake.
