My plurkenbuddies have been demanding to know about Guinness Cake, so here is the recipe, stolen from the Rayburn Cookbook by Sarah Pym.<\/p>\n

Guinness Cake is a rich fruit cake made moist by the addition of Guinness<\/a> stout.\u00a0 It keeps particularly well.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

225g (8oz) butter or margarine
\n225g (8oz) soft dark brown sugar
\n4 eggs, lightly beaten
\n275g (10oz) self-raising flour
\n10ml (2tsp) mixed spice
\n225g (8oz) seedless raisins
\n225g (8oz) sultanas
\n100g (4oz) mixed peel
\n100g (4oz) chopped walnuts
\n125ml (1\/4pt) Guinness<\/p>\n

Oven<\/h2>\n

Set the oven for 170 to 180C (325-350°F)<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs. Fold in the flour and the mixed spice, and add the fruit and nuts. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the Guinness and mix to a soft dropping consistency. Turn into a greased and lined 18cm (7inch) round cake tin and bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour. Reduce the temperature (perhaps by opening the oven door a little) and cook for a further 1.5 hours or until completely cooked. (Test using a clean dry knife stabbed gently into the top of the cake; if it comes out clean, it’s cooked.) Allow to cool. Prick with a skewer or fine knitting needle and pour on the remaining Guinness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
