My Christmas Cake recipe.


It's for an 8'; round cake, so get a mathematician working on it, and they are ALL imperial, not US measures.





You can (indeed should) make it 3 months in advance





6oz butter


6 oz soft brown sugar


1 tablespoon black treacle


4 eggs


7 oz plain flour


1 teaspoon ground mixed spice


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


9 oz currants


6 oz sultanas


5 oz raisins


(You can soak the vine fruits in 1 tablespoon of rum or brandy overnight)


3 oz glace cherries quartered


2 1/2 oz chopped mixed peel


2 oz blanched chopped almonds


2 1/2 oz ground almonds


grated rind of 1 lemon





Cream butter, sugar and treacle


Beat in eggs (I add a desert spoon of flour per egg to stop curdling)


Stir in flour


Stir in remaining ingredients


Put in prepared tin


Bake at 150c 300F Gas Mark 2 for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours ( a skewer should come out clean.
