I need the Christmas Cake recipe please. I've mislaid the book and also my handwritten copy of the recipe.
The ingredients are ready and waiting but I can't remember the quantities.
I know it's a long shot but I hope MSE folk can help me out.
Many thanks.

I have the book and there's a recipe for Christmas, birthday cake or wedding cake. Is that it?
If so the ingredients are:
10ozs currants
10ozs sultanas
7ozs raisins
5ozs glace cherries
4ozs mixed peel
4ozs whole sweet almonds
10ozs plain flour
Pinch of salt
1 level teaspoon grated nutmeg
Half level teaspoon mixed spice
Half level teaspoon ground cinnamon
10ozs Stork margarine
10ozs castor sugar
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
6 eggs.
Do you need the rest of the instructions? Can do but might take a while to type!
Please put out food and water for the birds and hedgehogs1 -
