i'm not sure whose recipe this is but someone gave it to me a few years ago.
Christmas Cake - an unusual recipe
1 cup water 1 tbsp salt
1 tsp baking powder 1 bottle whiskey
2 cups dried fruit 8 oz nuts
lemon juice 1 cup sugar
4 large eggs 8 oz butter
Sample the whiskey to check for quality. Take a large bowl. Check the whiskey again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one cup and drink. Repeat.
Turn on electric mixer, beat two ounces of butter into a fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again. Make sure whiskey is still OK. Cry another tup.
Turn off mixerer. Break two bowls and add to the eggs and chuck in dried fruit.
Mix on the turnerer. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry loose with drewscriver. Check whiskey again for considedty.
Next, sift two cups of salt or something. Who cares? Check whiskedty, sift lemon juice and strain nuts. Add one table. Spoon. Sugar!
Grease oven. Turn the cake tin 350 degrees. Beat off turner and throw bowl out of window!
Check whiskey again and go to bed. :-X
Next day, take three aspirins and go to M&S to buy Christmas cake ;D
