Chrishmish Cake
It's now only just over 10 months to Christmas Day!!
For those who get stressed by all the Christmas Cooking, here's a tip: start early, and try this recipe.....
1 cup butter
1 tspn baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 tspn baking soda
1 cup dried fruit
1 tspn salt
1 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
lemon juice
1 - 2 ltrs whisky
nuts
Before you start, sample the whisky to check for quality nas your cake will only be as good as your spirits. Good, isn't it? Now go ahead.
Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. As the whisky must be just right, sample it again by using the large mixing cup. Pour a level (large) cupful into a glass and drink it as fast as you can. Repeat if you have any doubts.
With an electric mixer beat 1 cup of butter int he large fluffy bowl. Add one thespoon of thugar and beat again. Meanwhile, sample the whisky again to make thure it hasn't gone off - cry another tup, opening the second litre if neccissary.
Add two arge leggs, two cups fried druit and beat til high. If druit gets stick in beaters, just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Check for sudden tonscisticity of the whisky by reshampling.
Next shift three cups of salt or anything else on the bench, it doesn't really matter. Sample the whishky. Sift one pint of leomn jiuce into the cup. Fold in chopped butter and strained nuts. Add one babblespoon of brown sugar (or whatever colour you can find, and wix mell.
Grease the oven and turn cake pan to 180 degrees. Now pour the whole mess into the oven and ake, who cares. Chust check the whisky once more, making sure none remains in the bottle to go off, then bo toged, remembering Chrishmiss comes but one a year and when it comes it bringsh good cheer. If caksh no good, who cares? Theresh shtill just over 10 monfs to make anoffer one!
