German style cakes with rum-soaked raisins. Small bags of ready-made rum-soaked raisins are commonly sold at discount stores. If they are not available, here’s what you can do: chop raisins, soak them in a small amount of sugar syrup/rum mixture and knead. When baked, brush with marmalade and top with Christmas decorations.

Bake a sponge in a square pan. Line the pan with wax-paper if necessary. After baking, remove the cake from the pan and let cool before filling and frosting. Together with whipped cream and strawberries, you can also use chocolate sauce for the filling.
