Christmas Cake

Ingredients:
1. Maida flour - 2 cups
2. Melted butter - 1 cup
3. Sugar - 1.25 cups
4. Baking powder - 1.25 cups
5. Sodium bi-carbonate - 1/4 tsp
6. Walnuts - 2 cups (chopped)
7. Semisweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips mixed together - 1.5 cups


Preparation:
Grease and flour an oven-proof round cake tin. Sift together the flour, baking poder, soda and set aside. Grind the sugar in a food processor and then add the sour cream and beat well. Mix in the butter and blend the mixture well so that it is mooth. The texture of your cake will depend a lot on how well you can blend this mixture. Remove this to a large mixing bowl. Add the flour mixture a little at a time into this mixture, stir constantly so that no lumps form. Blend the flour well into the sour cream and sugar mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips and the walnuts and blend well. Pour into a prepared baking tin and bake in a per-heated oven at 180 degree for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to around 140 degree and until a skewer when inserted in the centre comes out clean. You can serve this cake without any decoration. Allow the cake to cool, cut into slices and serve. Or spread some ready-made strawberry icing or any icing of your choice and decorate with fresh fruits or chocolate chips.
