Make Your Holiday Even More Sweet with the Christmas Cakes
Mrs. Williams is our favorite aunt. She is a bundle of endless energy. For Christmas, her home is the place to be. Our entire neighborhood will be found hanging at her porch at that time of the year.

Among all the other things, one thing which we all crave is her home baked cake. She spilled the beans, I should say, on the day when I asked her to tell me how she manages to pull such a fantastic feat of making the cake.

Out of the repertoire of making cakes, she told me one of them. Last year I got the opportunity to bake a Christmas cake under her watchful eye.

She told me to keep a cup of water ready. The other ingredients needed were four large eggs, dried fruit, a cup of brown sugar, flour, mixed spice, nuts, sherry wine( of course), a teaspoon of salt, grated lemon, margarine, honey or treacle and a cup of sugar.

We checked the sherry wine; it tasted great, just right for the occasion.

First we sieved the dry ingredients. Then we took a large bowl and then put the peel, fruit, nuts, eggs, margarine, sugar, treacle, and flour and stirred it till the mixture turned soft.

We put them in a 9 inch tin with a grease proof paper around the side and at the bottom. Then we put the tin in the middle of the oven and baked for 150 F at gas mark 2.

Then we checked our cake with a skewer. We placed the skewer into the middle of the cake to check for the consistency. We realized that it needed to be baked for another fifteen minutes.

After we felt that the cake was properly baked, we shifted it on to the wire rack for about 15 minutes to cool off completely.

When it was cooled, we removed the first coating of paper and added a dash of sherry to the cake and then enfolded more greaseproof paper. We decked the Christmas cake up with a sheet of aluminum foil as well.

We prepared the cake about three weeks before Christmas and just one week before the 25th Dec, we applied the frosting and decorated the cake. The cake was a simmering hit and we enjoyed as the carols played in the background.
