Xmas cake in a box

poolgirl6, Dec 3, 11:54pm
Just bought a box for xmas cake, fruit weighed etc.
Can you offer any hints/advice please. ie Do I cover the box with brown paper etc whilst its cooking. Do I leave the cake in the tin to cool!
Box expensive, better be good lol

Season the box first by placing in a 300F oven for 30mins.
