Amy's death shocked the QCC because we all realised how much we cared for someone we had never met. BackstageBear had asked Amy for the recipe of her fruit cake.
This was her reply:

@BSBear Please note that I marinated the fruit for 7 days, and after the cake cooled and was ready for storing I followed sister's advice and doused it with more rum before wrapping and storing it -- at least a month. Here goes:
And here is her recipe.

Sparclear's Christmas Pudding
by sparclear
Calls for a veggie, not-sugar-or-treacle Christmas Pudding recipe led to ritually dark cook-ups with dates, and heavy, sticky results.
After about a decade of these, our nice lodger Martin obtained his mother's recipe which he remembered from long ago, because grating the carrot was his childhood task. Once we'd adapted for honey and sunflower oil all agreed it was the best in the world.

Margarita Cake
by Spanishscot
My daughter asked me to make her a gin and tonic cake, which was a great success. From that, the Margarita Cake was a logical development and it was premièred in Edinburgh for the small Festival gathering. We discovered that not only it is delicious, it also has magic properties which allow those who eat it to complete the Quick Crossword without czech or cheat.
While I'm at it, you may as well have the recipe for the (drinking) Margarita.
They go very well together.
Crossword CAKE!
By Panurus
This is the recipe for the Crossword Cake I brought to my first Edinburgh Gathering. It's from Claudia Roden's New Book of Middle Eastern Food (1985) - a delightful book, full of cultural background and stories, as well as splendid food. This is a Sephardi recipe.

Chocolate Fudge Traybake

This is one of my husband's favourites - he's restricted to a gluten-free diet, but you really can't tell the difference!
