you baked a small loaf of christmas fruit cake. this is a tradition that you grew up with that your mum will bake a big square tin of fruit cake with a lot of raisins, a very dense and sweet cake that brushed with rum and can keep for months.
two years ago, a friend shared a simpler recipe with you, a smaller cake, with less sugar and a lighter version of christmas cake. this year you added a teaspoon of speculaas spice to the cake and that totally transformed the taste of the cake, giving the cake another dimension of complexity and aroma.
it's less booze but it's better this way and you totally enjoy your piece of cake with a cup of tea.
today is the last working day of the year, you're looking forward to the festive holiday and hopefully you can make a different to your friends and people whom you crossed your path with.
