No Bake Christmas Cake

If you left baking the Christmas cake too late - like me, this is an easy recipe and you don't even have to bake it for hours on end. This is definitely not a traditional recipe. It has a fudgy taste to it.

How to do it:

Boil 1 c sugar and 1 c butter together for 5 minutes.
Add 500 g cakemix, 1 c glace cherries and 1/2 - 1 c chopped nuts of your choice. (I use pecans).
Beat 2 eggs, 1 t vanilla and 2 T brandy together and add to the cakemix while still hot. Mix well.
Allow the mixture to cool.
Add 2 packets of crushed Marie biscuits and mix well.
Press the mixture into a ring pan and press down well.
Keep in the fridge until completely cooled down.

I hope you will enjoy this as much as I do.
