Ingredients

  • two cups of fine white sugar creamed
  • three cups of sifted flour
  • a cup of butter
  • a cup of sweet milk
  • a handful of nuts
  • three eggs
  • one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder sifted through the flour
  • two-thirds full

Directions

1

Two cups of fine white sugar creamed with half a cup of butter, three eggs, two-thirds of a cup of sweet milk, three cups of sifted flour, one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder sifted through the flour; a tablespoonful (level) of powdered mace, a coffeecup of hickory nut or walnut meats chopped a little. Fill the cake-pans with a layer of the cake, then a layer of raisins upon that, then strew over these a handful of nuts, and so on until the pan is two-thirds full. Line the tins with well-buttered paper and bake in a steady, but not quick, oven. This is most excellent.
