Light plum cake

1 cake

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Flour
4 ounces Brown sugar
4 ounces Butter
2 Eggs; beaten
3 tablespoons Milk
2 ounces Currants
2 ounces Raisins
2 ounces Peel; mixed
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons Spice; mixed

Directions

Set oven to 375øF 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 1¼ hours, reducing the heat to 350øF 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.
