My Sister's Christmas Rum Cake
Every year around this time, my sister makes an
attempt to create what she says is her masterpiece
of culinary delight (in fact, she usually makes two
or three attempts) but alas, I have yet to sample
even a tiny morsel of it.
Here is the recipe she uses:
Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality.
Good, isn't it? Now go ahead. Select a large mixing
bowl, measuring cup, etc. Check the rum again. It
must be just right.
To be sure rum is of the highest quality, pour one
level cup of rum into a glass and drink it as fast as
you can. Repeat. With an electric mixer, beat 1 cup
butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add 1 seasthingy of thugar and beat again.
Meanwhile, make sure that the rum is of the finest
quality-- try another cup. Open second quart, if
necessary. Add 2 arge leggs, 2 cups fried druit and
beat till high. If druit gets stuck in beaters, just pry
it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the rum again, checking for tonscisticity.
Next sift 3 cups of pepper or salt (it really doesn't
matter which).
Sample the rum again. Sift 1/2 pint lemon juice.
Fold in chopped butter and strained nuts. Add one
babblesthingy of brown thugar, or whatever color
you can find. Wix mell. Grease oven and turn cake
pan to 350 gredees.
Now pour whole mess into the coven and ake.
Check the rum again, and bo to bed.
Now you know why.....
