Would you please convey my gratitude to Rose Prince for the Christmas Cake recipe (The Tablet, 6 December). For the last 43 years my late wife created beautiful drunken affairs but this year the sadness was to be deepened by the absence of the forty-fourth.
Tablet to the rescue, this recipe looked codger-proof. I enclose snaps of the result which show it was something of a temptation and has become an Advent cake.
