Luncheon Cake.
- Ingredients—1 lb. of flour.
- 4 oz. of butter, lard, or dripping.
- ¼ lb. of sultanas.
- ¼ lb. of currants.
- 6 oz. of sugar.
- 2 oz. of candied peel.
- 2 eggs.
- Rather less than a ¼ pint of milk.
- 2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
- 1 oz. of lump sugar.
- Grated lemon rind.
Method.—Put the lump sugar in a saucepan and burn it brown.
Pour in the milk and stir until it is coloured.
Then strain it and let it get cold.
Put the flour into a basin.
Rub the butter lightly into it.
Add the sultanas (well cleaned), and the rest of the dry ingredients.
Mix with the eggs well beaten, and the milk.
Put it into a well-greased tin, which should be lined with paper.
Bake from one hour and a half to two hours.
