\ud83c\udf84 My grandmother’s Christmas cake!<\/h3>\n

My grandmother made this Queen Elizabeth cake around Christmas. I didn’t remember it being this good! I made it again, and it’s completely insane. Unreal cake! My kids loved it, my neighbors loved it. The only one who didn’t get a taste was my dog, it’s dangerous for her.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd65 Hot icing on a hot cake<\/h3>\n

It’s a date and walnut cake, with maple syrup in the icing. That’s my touch. Take the cake out of the oven, make your icing, spread it right on top. It runs down the sides just a little, and it’s out of this world!<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 Everyone broils it. I don’t.<\/h3>\n

Everyone puts it under the broiler. Me, I kind of forgot! I tasted it, it was amazing like that, so I figured: why change it? I love a runny topping. Cut it right away if you want, it’ll be absolutely incredible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
