Instructions:
-
First, ensure the vodka is of the highest quality by sampling it for freshness. This step ensures a superior flavor in your fruitcake.
-
Take a large mixing bowl and prepare it for the ingredients to come.
-
Double-check the vodka once more to confirm its quality. This attention to detail ensures the best results for your cake.
-
Pour yourself a level cup of vodka and indulge in its smooth taste. This step not only adds a personal touch to your baking but also enhances the cooking experience.
-
Repeat the process of enjoying a cup of vodka. This step guarantees consistency in flavor throughout the baking process.
-
Once you’ve appreciated another cup of vodka, it’s time to move on to the next step.
-
Turn on your electric mixer and place 1 cup of butter into a large fluffy bowl. Beat the butter until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
Add water, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the butter mixture, then beat again until well combined.
-
Take a moment to ensure the vodka is still in good condition. This step ensures that the integrity of the flavor remains intact.
-
Enjoy another sip of vodka for reassurance.
-
Turn off the mixers once the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
-
Add the cup of dried fruits into the mixture. This adds a delightful texture and bursts of flavor to your fruitcake.
-
Mix the ingredients together using a spatula or spoon until the fruits are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
If any of the dried fruit gets stuck on the beaters, gently pry it loose with a screwdriver. This ensures that every bite of your fruitcake is filled with deliciousness.
-
Take a moment to sample the vodka once more to ensure its consistency and flavor profile meet your expectations.
-
Next, take two cups of salt and…or something. Who really cares about the salt at this point? The vodka is the star of the show!
-
Double-check the vodka once again. This step is crucial to maintaining the quality of your fruitcake.
-
Now, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Strain your nuts if needed (metaphorically speaking, of course).
-
Add one tablespoon of sugar or whatever you feel like adding at this point. It’s your cake, after all.
-
Grease your oven to prevent sticking, then preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Don’t forget to beat off the turner…wait, what? Let’s just assume it means to clean the mixing utensils thoroughly.
-
Whip the bowl out the window…okay, that’s definitely an unusual step. Let’s skip that part.
-
Take one final moment to check the vodka. It’s been a long journey, but we’re almost there.
-
Now, it’s time to go to bed. Wait, what? Who wrote these instructions anyway? Let’s just move on to the next step.
-
Who the heck likes fruitcake anyway? Well, you will once you try this vodka-infused masterpiece!
Enjoy your indulgent Vodka Fruitcake, and share the love with friends and family this holiday season! 🍰🍹
