Great Christmas Cake Recipe

[Eric Peterson]

PROBABLY THE BEST YOU HAVE EVER HAD!

Christmas Cake

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 tequila
* 2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the tequila 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 tequila is still OK. Try another cup... Just in case. Turn off the mixer 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 tequila to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the tequila. 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, finish the tequila and wipe counter with the cat.

Can you substitute the Tequila with Single Malt Scotch?

I'm in tequila country, but I'm sure any Spirit would substitute well....

Only one alcoholic beverage?

My Christmas cake usually gets vermouth to soak the fruit, except for the cherries which get a bath in rum, and then whisky after cooking.

It is best made in mid June and kept in a tin until the Winter Solstice, with extra rum and whisky at the Autumn Equinox. When opened up it is like releasing the Spirit of Christmas Past into the house.
