Baker Nancy Birtwhistle won the hit show in 2014 and claimed full marks in the final technical challenge with her \u201ctarte au citron\u201d.<\/p>\n

But one of her more classical bakes is the humble Christmas cake packed with soaked fruit, spices, and booze.<\/p>\n

Sharing a video on her Instagram account, the baker-turned-author said: \u201cOnce we get into October I start to think about my Christmas cake. And my Christmas cake is one of the few cakes where I paper line the tin because I leave those papers on right up until Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know this recipe is really popular so I decided to price it up. And the ingredients come to \u00a38.60 for a cake that will weigh two and a half kilograms – about eight or nine inches in diameter and quite deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy explained that she compared the cost to that of a ready-made cake at the supermarket weighing 907g, which is less than half the size of hers -and it cost \u00a310.<\/p>\n
