Can anyone help me (for my daughter) with Alison Holst's 3-egg Christmas Cake recipe please.I have made her 6-egg one and for the life of me, I can't put my hands on my copy of the smaller one. Many thanks, in anticipation.

I found this on Stack of Recipes by doing a Google search - which is quite a roundabout way of finding something that was posted on TM to start with.I didn't find it when I used te search function here - must have put in the wrong words.
I do know there is another small one (about 7inches) but I only had a photocopy which I've lost.

Many, many thanks for the recipe - I knew you wouldn't let me down! An early Merry Christmas to the both of you.
