SPICE CAKE
- 4 ozs. (½ cup) butter
- 4 ozs. (½ cup) sugar
- ½ lb. (2 cups) flour
- 1½ teaspoonfuls baking powder
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoonful powdered ginger
- ½ teaspoonful powdered cinnamon
- Some lemon marmalade
Rub the butter finely into the flour, add the sugar, baking powder, and spices. Beat up the egg, add it gradually, making the dry ingredients into a stiff paste. Knead it a little on a floured baking board, divide it into two pieces, roll them out, and line a greased fireproof plate with one of them, spread over with the marmalade, spread the other piece on the top, and pinch it neatly round the edges.
Bake in a hot oven for half an hour.
