Ginger Cup Cake

Mix two cupfuls of sifted sugar with two cupfuls of butter, melted, but not oiled. Add three well-beaten eggs, a cupful of treacle, four heaped cupfuls of flour, a heaped table-spoonful of ground ginger, a tea-spoonful of carbonate of soda, and a cupful of new milk. When thoroughly and smoothly mixed, pour into a buttered mould, and bake in a moderate oven. If preferred, the mixture may be baked in patty-pans. Time to bake, a quarter of an hour in small pans, an hour and a half in a mould. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. for this quantity. Sufficient for a three-pint mould.
