8 oz Flour
4 oz Brown sugar
4 oz Butter
2 Eggs; beaten
3 tb Milk
2 oz Currants
2 oz Raisins
2 oz Peel; mixed
1 ts Bicarbonate of soda
2 ts Spice; mixed
Set oven to 375?F or Mark 5. Grease a 7 inch round cake tin and line
with greaseproof paper. Cream the fat and sugar together in a bowl.
Sift together the flour, mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda and add,
alternately with the beaten eggs and the milk, to the creamed
mixture. The mixture should be quite moist. Mix in the fruits.
Transfer to the tin and bake for 1 1/4 hours, reducing the heat to
350?F or Mark 4 after 30 minutes. If the top starts to brown, cover
with foil. When cooked turn out on to a wire rack and allow to cool.
