Christmas Cake

Ingredients

• 1 lb Flour
• 1 lb Butter
• 1 lb Castor Sugar
• 1 lb Sultana
• 3/4 lb Currants
• 1/2 lb Mixed peel
• 6 Egg
• 1 wineglass Brandy
• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Method

Cream the butter and sugar together then add the beats eggs, a glass of brandy and the spice. Beat all well together and bake in a moderate oven for 21/2 hours to 3 hours. This cake will keep for a long time and will improve for keeping. 2 ozs of blanched almonds form a nice addition to these quantities. (This is the one that I make.)
