Default Australian Christmas cake......

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 bottles wine of quality red wine.
* 2 cups of dried fruit
* 2 tsp mixed spice [optional]

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 somefink. 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 shops and buy cake.

Bingle Jells!

He gave it the old "do you know who I am?"
