The holidays are here and Phil Whaley, our partner in the UK, has shared his recipe for his famous Buzzard’s Roost Christmas cake! The reason he’s starting so early? The longer you soak the fruit in Buzzard’s Roost, the better it tastes. Phil recommends 2-3 weeks.
What you'll need:
Buzzard’s Roost
Currants: 8 oz
Sultanas: 3 ½ oz
Raisins: 3 ½ oz
Glace cherries: 2 ½ oz
Mixed peel, chopped: 2 oz
Blanched almonds, chopped: 2 oz
Lemon rind, grated: ½ lemon
Plain flour: 6 oz
Ground cinnamon: ½ teaspoon
Ground mixed spice: ¼ teaspoon
Nutmeg: 2 teaspoons
Ground ginger: 2 teaspoons
Butter: 5 oz
Soak currants, sultanas, raisins, glace cherries, mixed peel and almonds in 5 TBSP of Buzzard’s Roost. Soak for a minimum of 2 days (we recommend soaking for 2-3 weeks!)
Add all ingredients (except the fruit mix) to the mixer and beat until smooth
Fold in fruit mixture
Line cake tin with parchment paper and add cake batter
Bake in the oven for 2.5 hours on 250F until a knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean
Before decorating, poke holes in the cake and spoon more Buzzard’s Roost for a dreamy boozy cake
Decorate as desired, serve and enjoy!
First released in 2013, the game quickly gained worldwide popularity thanks to its simple one-touch gameplay, vibrant neon visuals, and highly challenging level design. At its core, geometry dash is about guiding a small geometric icon, usually a cube, through a series of obstacle-filled levels that move automatically from left to right.
Why start so early? Because the secret lies in the fruit — the longer it soaks in Buzzard’s Roost, the deeper and more fnaf delicious the flavor. Phil recommends 2–3 weeks of soaking for the best results.
