Mixing up a Christmas treat: The Courtyard by Marriott Kochi Christmas Cake in the making

Kreol Travel Retail has launched the Courtyard by Marriott Kochi’s Christmas Cake at Cochin Duty Free.

This traditional cake, crafted by Executive Chef Deepu Mohan of Courtyard by Marriott Cochin Airport Hotel, promises to bring festive cheer to travellers. The practice of cake mixing is an age-old festive tradition in Kerala where many kilograms of dry fruits, nuts, grains and spices are combined to form a mixture. This mixture is soaked in alcoholic blends for some days to absorb all the flavours and aromas. When ready, it is poured into the cake batter from which the Christmas Fruit Cakes are baked.

The 900-gram Christmas cake is presented in an artisan-designed tin, making it a perfect gift for the holiday season. Two varieties are available: one with alcohol and one non-alcoholic, catering to diverse preferences. Inspired by traditional Kerala recipes, this cake is rich in dry fruits and nuts, offering a taste of home for many travelers, enhancing their festive experience.


Lal Arakulath congratulates the Christmas cake-making team

Lal Arakulath, CEO of Kreol Group, said, "We are thrilled to introduce Courtyard by Marriott Kochi’s Christmas Cake at Cochin Duty Free. This delicious cake is a true representation of Kerala's rich culinary heritage. It is sure to be a hit among travellers, especially the non-resident Indian diaspora returning home for the holidays. Our team is also working on some exciting combo packs with spirits and wines to complement this festive treat.”
