Following on from my last post about my recent baking activities, in which I confessed to adding extra whisky to one of my cakes, my lovely Mum reminded me of this classic joke recipe – enjoy!
Fruitcake Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups candied fruit
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
lemon juice
nuts
1 bottle whisky (sample the whisky to check for quality)
Directions:
1. Take a large bowl. Check the whisky again – to be sure it is the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat.
2. Turn on the electric mixer, beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
3. Add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again.
4. Make sure the whisky is still okay. Cry another tup.
5. Turn off the mixer.
6. Break two leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of candied fruit.
7. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a drewscriver.
8. Sample the whisky to check for tonsisticity.
9. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares?
10. Check the whisky.
11. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
12. Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or something. Whatever you can find.
13. Grease the oven.
14. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Don’t forget to beat off the turner.
15. Throw the bowl out of the window, check the whisky again and go to bed.

I’m gonna call it a drewscriver in my house from now on 😉 I love the illustration! It’s depicts the good intention of starting out putting on an apron, but ending up with egg shells on the surface and no shoes 😀
