“Christmas Cake Recipeö
Typed by ZL1ABS (from my mother's old recipe book)
Ingredients
8 ounces (200 grams) butter
3 cups (12 ounces) plain flour
6 eggs
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon allspice powder
2 cups (8 oz) raisins
2 ˝ cups (10 ounces) brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups (8 oz) currents
4 cups (16 oz) sultanas
1 cup (4 oz) mixed peel
1 cup (4 oz) almonds
1 cup (4 oz) cherries
Grated rind of 1 lemon or orange
2 tablespoons sherry or brandy
Instructions
Cream butter and sugar well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add sifted dry ingredients and then prepared fruit and rind; lastly sherry.
Pour mixture into a greased cake baking tin, lined with parchment paper.
Oven bake for approximately 3 ˝ hours to 4 hours at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Allow the cake to cool down on a rack. Melt one teaspoon of butter with a teaspoon of boiling water. Stir in one cup of icing sugar (confectioners sugar) with the juice of one lemon. Add just enough boiling water to make the icing (frosting)
able to be spread over the cake with a flat knife.
