HI

Anyone like to share a nice Christmas Cake recipe with me ?
I know i have left to last minute, but looking at the prices in the shops, I am wondering about making my own this year ??
There is only 2 of us in the house that will eat it, so nothing huge needed

Thanks

I have a very good fruit cake recipe but it isn't the full on Chrimbo one with nuts. It is a very moist fruit cake that freezes well. PM me if you'd like me to pass it on

Ingredients:

* 2 cups flour
* 1 stick butter
* 1 cup of water
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 cup of sugar
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 cup of brown sugar
* Lemon juice
* 4 large eggs
* Nuts
* 1 bottle good single malt whisky
* 2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the whisky to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the whisky again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the whisky is still OK. Try another cup... Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the whisky to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the whisky . Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or some fink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the whisky and wipe counter with the cat.
