Delia Smith's Traditional English Christmas Fruit Cake Full Tutorial

XXX UPDATE: See link at end for icing tutorial XXX
This is the best Christmas cake you will ever try and it comes straight from the Delia Smith Christmas book. I include Delia's original recipe and my version that I am making this year. Making your own is the way to go. Not only will it taste better than any shop bought cake, but because you are in control you can add or leave out the stuff you don't like. It has taken me around 20 years to get this cake just the way I like it - fruity, moist and with a alcohol kick!
This is a BOOZY cake - I love it. I make no apologies for the volume of whiskey used. Make the cake around 6 weeks before Christmas or whenever you want to eat it. Icing is totally optional but I think it is worth the extra effort.
Serve it sliced, with butter and a strong cheddar along with a glass of single malt :)
