An easy to make alternative to the traditional christmas cake is this easy and forgiving receipe of a boiled christmas cake which is egg less too. As many of us keep wanting more and more of eggless bakes. This is a must try and surely a keeper . A healthy tasty whole wheat flour cake as I feel all te flavours get enhanced in a wheat flour based christmas cake.I have substituted butter with oil here to experience the lovely moist texture and it is very moist even when refrigerated unlike the butter cakes which turn a bit hard on refrigerating.
