Have you tried the Search box ? Or just go to the bottom of the "What's Cooking?" page, and check out all the reipes. Only 7 pages. There is one on Page 5, plus some other fruit cake reipes.
Cheers,
Sheba.

Google Christmas cake recipe. Theres thousands! I make a boiled fruit cake which is very easy, and for a Christmas special add extra cherries, brandy, whatever.
Thought you might like to try the following - my Mother-in-law gave it to me, and every trip we do, I have to make it for Pete, and take enough ingredients (or buy 'em) if the one I take with us runs out. An 8" square cake lasted just 6 days on a trip to Townsville earlier this year - a total of 1300 K's!!
Amy's Fruit Cake
125g butter 500g mixed fruit * 450g tin crushed pineapple - drained 400g tin condensed milk
Boil above ingredients for 5 minutes - let cool - add 1 tsp bi-carb soda
Fold in: 2 beaten eggs 1 cup SR Flour 1 cup Plain Flour 2 tsp mixed spice
Line an 8" square cake tin with baking paper, then bake for 1 1/2 hours @ 160 deg c.
* I use a 375g mixed fruit & 200g fruit medley - and soak them ovenight in a BIG slurp of brandy, but have been know to use rum when I have run out of brandy.
Hope you like it as much as we do.

Never heard about using mushrooms in a cake, but hey, I'll give anything a go. Will have to wait till I get home though, don't have the turbo with me and the van doesn't have an oven.
