Bread Cake

Three cups of dough, very light; three cups of sugar, one cup of butter, three eggs, a nutmeg, raisins, one teaspoonful of pearlash dissolved in a little hot water. Rub the butter and sugar together, add the eggs and spice, and mix all thoroughly with the dough. Beat it well and pour into the pans. It will do to bake immediately, but the cake will be lighter if it stands a short time to rise, before putting it into the oven.
