A Recipe for Rich Dark Christmas Cake
Ingredients
  • two pounds of raisins (I use sultanas, but golden will do just fine)
  • two pounds of currants
  • 1 and ½ pounds of dates
  • 1 pound of whole, or half, walnuts (my preference, though you can use pecans or blanched almonds if you wish)
  • 1 pound of mixed peel
  • 1 pound of glazed cherries
  • ¼ pound of glazed pineapple
  • ¼ cup of flour (this is to coat the fruit - you will need more flour later)
  • 1 pound of butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 2 and ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ tablespoon cloves
  • ¾ tablespoon nutmeg
  • ¾ tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ lemon - grate the rind and then squeeze out the juice (mix this with the following)
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
