Directions

1

Three cups sugar, two cups butter, five eggs, one cup milk, four cups flour, three teaspoonfuls Breadmaker’s Baking Powder. Mix as usual and stir in at the last, a half pound currants well washed and dredged, one- quarter of a pound of raisins seeded and chopped fine, then floured, a handful of citron sliced fine, cinna- mon and nutmeg to taste. Fruit-cake takes longer to bake than plain, and the heat must be kept steady.
