My Christmas cake was baked the same way. The only difference is the addition of honey to the Christmas cake. For this cake, powdered milk was added instead of honey. See the recipe HERE.
WARNING: Once the cake has been put in the heated pot, reduce the heat and bake slowly else the pot gets damaged. For an iron pot, no amount of heat can cause damage to it while baking.
I remember secondary school days...a teacher actually taught us to bake on the stove, she even advised we out sand in the pot...this good.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year
Sand also helps a lot. Why I use an aluminium saucer in place of sand is to be sure that no one bites into a grain of sand in the event of a little accident. Adding sand retains heat and preserves the pot.
