Best Christmas Brandy Cake image

This is my aunt's recipe for Christmas Cake. I tried this many years ago and still remember how awesome it was! If sultanas are hard to find, you can replace them with raisins. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

I didn't have any candied fruit on hand, so I used dried fruit instead. The cake was still delicious.

I used a different type of brandy than the recipe called for, and the cake still turned out great.
