- Sprinkle the brandy over the crumbled Christmas cake and leave to soak in.
- Place the sugar and water into a pan and dissolve over a low heat.
- Once dissolved, turn up the heat and boil for 4 minutes, bang on.
- At the 3 minute mark start whisking the egg yolks on the machine until thick.
- As soon as the sugar is ready, remove the pan from the stove.
- Whilst still whisking, add about ½ of the sugar to the yolks and whisk very well.
