I’m not going to pretend this is a stand-in Christmas cake because it really is quite different. However, I do like the idea of a slice of fruit cake with a smear of butter for afternoon tea at this time of year. With the marmalade and spice adding a hint of the season's festivities. Apricot jam can also be used if marmalade is not enjoyed or unavailable.
