I actually don't bake too many cakes come Christmastime. I do a lot of cookies and brownies, and I'll usually do a trifle cake. This year I did White Fruit Cake, which we've taken to calling 'Christmas Cake'! It's not like normal fruit cakes, and it's absolutely delicious. I did do a german chocolate cherry cake a few years ago, but it was time consuming that I haven't made it since. I do make meat pies, though! I love meat pies, and Christmas is a perfect excuse to make up plenty of them!

Panettone - Panettone: the most traditional Italian Christmas cake.
I don't like sweets. In Italy the most traditional Xmas cakes are Pandoro and Panettone.
