A Dundee cake is a rich fruitcake made with currants, sultanas, and almonds; sometimes it will also include marmalade and fruit peel. Like many Scottish recipes, it has also been known to have a dash of whisky as well. Yum! The cake is beautifully moist with a rich zesty flavour backed up by a sweetly tart Dundee marmalade. The almonds are not just a design feature but provide a crunch and roasted flavour to an otherwise simple fruitcake.
