1 tablespoonful each of mace and cinnamon.
2 nutmegs.
1 large wineglassful Madeira wine.
1 large wineglassful French brandy mixed with the spices.
Beat the butter and sugar together—eggs separately. Flour the fruit well, and add the flour and other ingredients, putting the fruit in last. Bake in a straight side mould, as it turns out easier. One pound of blanched almonds will improve this recipe. Bake until thoroughly done, then ice while warm.—Mrs. L.
