Tequila Christmas Cake

It's the week before Xmas and like me, you are probably madly baking, purchasing last minute gifts, braving the crowds, tolerating the repetitive music and wishing that you had just a little time for yourself... to go FLY!

In the "spirit" of the holidays, I am going to share with you a secret family recipe.   
Well, maybe family tradition is more accurate?  Either way, it will get you to your "happy place" when flying is not an option.

Infamous Tequila Christmas Cake

1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup water
1 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups dried fruit

Sample the tequila to check quality.
Take a large bowl; check the tequila again to be sure it is of the highest quality. Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. 
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.
At this point, it is best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck iin the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the tequila to test for tonsisticity.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something.
Check the tequila.
Now shift the lemon ice 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 s and try not to fall over.
Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the tequila and wipe the counter with the cat.


It almost goes without saying, Tequila Cake is best enjoyed on firm ground.  


Merry Christmas everyone!
Wishing you a safe, happy and warm holiday season.
