What is Christmas Cake?

Christmas cake began as a holiday pudding made from various dried fruits. Over time it grew so tough that it had to be boiled before it could even be eaten. During the sixteenth century the oatmeal component was replaced with flour and they began using eggs, but the end result was still boiled because most households did not have large enough ovens to bake in. The exotic spices used in the Christmas cake were representative of the spices delivered unto the Christ child by the Three Wise Men. Today traditional Christmas cakes are draped in marzipan and decorated with popular Christmas imagery made from sugar.http://www.christmasarchives.com/christmascake.html
