Head over to sister Smith's house to make rum cake.

Sister Smith puts 1 pound of butter into a big industrial size blender.

Add 1 pound of sugar to the blender.

Add 1 pound of flour to the mixture.

Add 1 pound and 1/4 of mixed fruit to ensure a fruit-heavy cake.

Mix the butter and sugar for about 15 minutes until it reaches room temperature.

Add baking powder, nutmeg, eggs, mixed spice, and browning to the mixture.

Be careful with the amount of browning used as it can be bitter.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks, discarding the membranes from the yolks.

Beat the egg whites until foamy to make meringue, adding lime juice and rum to the mixture.

Pour the beaten egg mixture into the blender with the butter and sugar.
