Transition to Retrement

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and as you end one holiday and start thinking about the next, here is an oldie but a goodie to get you in the mood. Once again, this year, I’ve had requests for my Christmas Whisky Cake recipe so here goes.
Please keep in your files as I am beginning to get tired of typing this up every year! (Made mine this morning!!!!)
1 cup sugar,
1 tsp. baking powder,
1 cup water,
1 tsp. salt,
1 cup brown sugar,
Lemon juice,
4 large eggs,
Nuts,
2 bottles Whisky,
2 cups dried fruit.
Sample a cup of Whisky to check quality.
Take a large bowl,
check the Whisky again to be sure it is of the highest quality
then Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer.
Beat one cup of butter in a large bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Beat again.
At this point, it is best to make sure the Whisky is still OK.
Try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy.
Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor,
wash it and put it in the bowl a piece at a time trying to count it.
Mix on the turner.
If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers,
just pry it loose with a drewscriver
Sample the other bottle of Whisky to test for tonsisticity.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something.
Check the Whisky.
Now shit shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table.
Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink.
Whatever you can find sample the whiskers
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 door
Finish the Whisky and wipe the counter with the cat.
