A slice is 230 kcal with 6 g of fat. A British Christmas cake has a layer of marzipan and royal icing on top, which adds a fair bit.

Questions
How many calories in Christmas cake with marzipan and icing?
More than 230. Marzipan and icing are almond paste and sugar, so add a good amount on top.
Is fruitcake lighter than stollen?
About the same, both around 230 a slice.
Does the brandy add calories?
A little, but most of the alcohol is soaked into a whole cake, so a slice has very little.
