 Categories: Cakes
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 qt Rum; up to 2
      1 c  Butter
      1 ts Sugar
      2 lg Eggs
      1 c  Dried fruit
           Baking powder
      1 ts Soda
           Lemon juice
           Brown sugar
           Nuts
 
  Before you start, sample 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 1 level cup of rum into a glass and drink as fast as
  you can. Repeat.

  With an electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter in a large fluffy bowl,
  and 1 ts sugar and beat again. Meanwhile, make sure the rum is of
  the finest quality. Try another cup.

  Open second quart if necessary. Add 2 lg eggs, 2 cups fried druit,
  and beat until high. If fruit gets stuck in beaters, just pry it
  loose with a screwdriver. Sample the rum again, checking for
  consistency.

  Next, sift 3 cups pepper or salt [it doesn't matter which]. Sample
  rum again.

  Sift 1/2 pint lemon juice, fold in chopped butter and strained
  nuts. Add 1 tb brown suger or whatever color you can find. Mix
  well. Grease oven and turn cake pan to 350 degrees F. Now pour the
  whole mess into cover and bake.

  Check the Rum again and go to bed.
