My personal favorite is the cake I prepared a week or two ago—alcohol-free, and packed with dates and whole cherries. It’s a beautifully rich dark cake, and the cherries burst with flavor in every bite. It’s truly my favorite part of Christmas! I’m also sharing some make-ahead fruit cake recipes that incorporate alcohol for preservation. Enjoy!
What can I use instead of alcohol in a Christmas cake?
If you’re baking an alcohol-free Christmas cake you can use a few tablespoons of orange, cherry, cranberry or apple juice; something sweet to keep the moisture in the cake. You can also soak the fruit in tea if you prefer a less sweet flavor.
How long does the fruit cake last without alcohol?
Since the cake does not have alcohol to preserve it it will last at least a week. Covered with cling wrap or wax paper, stored in a cake tin. If you want to keep it longer then wrap it well in cling wrap sealed well and freeze it.

Traditional christmas cake recipe
Here’s a recipe for a delicious, traditional Christmas cake. It’s bursting with dried fruit and covered with marzipan and fondant icing. As with all Christmas cakes, this one improves with keeping. You should aim to make it at least a month before Christmas, and up to three months before.
This recipe is made by melting the butter and sugar together first, then stirring in the fruits. This ensures the cake is really moist and fruity and bakes to give a dense, even result, whilst at the same time remaining flat on the top.
Alcohol-Free, a kid-friendly cake you can have the same day you bake it. Tastes just like authentic fruitcake (maybe even better!). This cake is moist and stays moist for days its flavor keeps improving with time.
You’re going to make these, then you’ll need to do it soon, or they won’t have time to mature and develop before Christmas.
You didn’t bake a Christmas fruit cake? Not to worry this can be made a day before you need it. Alcohol Free Christmas Cake recipe idea. A moist bake with fruit mix, dates and whole cherries in the cake that can be made any time. The best recipe for me.
