Method

Grease a round 9-inch cake tin.

Mix the milk with the syrup, sugar and eggs.

Sift the remaining flour mixture into the syrup mixture and pour in alternate spoons of milk. Stir in the whisky or rum.

Mix in the suet, nuts and raisins.

Pour the mixture in the tin and put in a preheated oven (160�°C, 325�°F Gas 3).

Bake until the top is firm to the touch and cracked open (about 1 hour 30 minutes).

Now decorate it with Moonshine Glaze, for which you will need:

4oz Icing sugar

Stir all these together and mix well.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the oven then turn it out on a wire rack. Spoon over the glaze while the cake is still hot. The glaze will run in glossy runnels down the sides.

 

whisky cake...

Juice from a small orange
Toasted flaked almonds as decoration

Sift in half the self-raising flour (or all-purpose flour and baking powder) and pour in the whisky. Fold in to the mixture and sift in the remaining flour and again fold in. Grease two seven inch sandwich tins and divide the mixture between the two, smoothing the tops. Bake for 20/25 minutes in an oven at 375F/190C/Gas Mark 5 until the cake is a light golden colour. Turn onto a wire rack to allow it to cool.

Put the butter, honey and one tablespoon of orange juice in a mixing bowl. Slowly sift in the icing (frosting) sugar and work the mixture till they are all combined. Use half the butter cream as a sandwich between the two halves of the cake and spread the rest smoothly on the top. Add the toasted almonds as decoration.

Wildflower, i just read your funny whisky cake recipe and laughed so hard I was crying! In fact my eyes were so closed with tears of laughter I could only read it one line at a time!

Thank you for the best laugh I've had in ages!

 

Their are some more funny recipes in the muppetss its gone to page 2..and its called funny recipes..some of them are quite amusing.. :D This is my favourite ...

The Turkey Poem
The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
It knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with a deafening boom,
Then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor;
There was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance;
it smeared every saucer and bowl;
There wasn't a way I could stop it;
that turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
I'd never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

In-house advisor made our Christmas cake last week. We must be the only ones that like alcohol free cakes and puddings.
