Friend baked mine. Professionally iced, decorated and boxed. She remembered a conversation we had months ago about my daughters not eating anything with fruits in. She blended the fruits so you cant see them just taste them. There is so much alcohol in it: fabulous!! The girls and I have been munching through it all week. Delicious! |

Not keen on spicy fruit cakes, so I don't get one.
However, I would nibble at the icing if one is placed in front of me! |

I (Bob) have made 5 of the bloody things this year and iced them. All of them except one have been for other folks.
Incidently I hate the friggin stuff, so what I did with ours is substitute 10oz of fruit for 10oz of mixed nuts - lovely |

Even if you don't usually make your own cake, this recipe sounds like it's worth a try!
CHRISTMAS CAKE RECIPE.
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
* 2 bottle wine
* 2 cups of dried fruit
Sample the wine to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the wine 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 wine 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 wine to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt or something.
Check the wine. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table.
Add a spoon of sugar, or something. 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 wine and wipe counter with the cat.
Go to Tesco and buy cake.
Bingle Jells!

I make mine, I love getting it sorted then feeding it. Sadly my decorating skills, are not as good as my baking skills. |
