The husband came home from work this morning and announced that he wants a Christmas cake this year.
Now, the husband *hates* Christmas cake, so the first thing I did was make him POAS on the basis of having unusual cravings 
It was a BFN though  So no medical marvel here ...
Anyway!! (Oh, and yes! I have gone *completely* mad!  )
Does anyone have a really good, traditional fruit cake recipe? I'm talking the good old soak-the-fruit-in-grog-for-a-week, you-could-build-a-house-with-this type of fruit cake? All recipe's greatly appreciated!!  ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

and the other one...
You'll need the following: 1 cup of water 1 cup of sugar 4 large brown eggs 2 cups of dried fruit 1 teaspoon of salt 1 cup of brown sugar Lemon juice Nuts 1 bottle of whisky Sample the whisky to check for quality. Take a large bowl. Check the whisky again. To be sure it's 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 and beat again. Make sure the whisky is still OK. Cry another tup. Tune up the mixer. Beat two leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Mix on the turner. If the fired druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it goose with a drewscriver. Sample the whisky to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares? Check the whisky. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Spoon the sugar or something. Whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out of the window. Check the whisky again and go to bed. I will however check with my gran as I am sure she will have one somewhere, or my mum ------------- ">
