Happy Festive memories, Brixham WI!
Once again this year, I’ve had requests for my Vodka Christmas 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, half pound butter, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup water, 1 tsp. salt , 1 cup brown sugar, Lemon juice, 4 large eggs, Nuts, 1 bottle Vodka, 2 cups dried fruit 4 cups self raising flour.
Sample a cup of Vodka to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Vodka 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 fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Vodka 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 Vodka to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something. Check the Vodka. Now shit shift the lemon juice 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 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the fekin window. Finish of the Vodka and wipe the counter with the flipping cat.

nterested in trying something a bit different?
Dart Bay craft organisers have come up with a great idea:
We have had an idea though based on a popular lady on Facebook called Lynee of Quirky Birds. Lyn is doing fun sessions on Zoom - she is leading painting (watercolour) sessions with chat - she is lighthearted and anyone can do the painting if they have paper, pencil and paint. We have approached her and as she is so familiar already with WI she will happily do an event for us. She will however charge us and therefore we would need to ask for £5.00 per head (but if we got lots of people interested we could lower this) and we would need a minimum of 10 people to cover her costs.
Let me know right now if you are interested!
