PLUM CAKE (another way)

Beat one pound of butter to a cream, and mix with it three well-beaten eggs, two pounds of best flour, one pound of currants, one pound of sugar, five heaped tea-spoonfuls of baking-powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix rather lightly with lukewarm milk. Put the dough into buttered tins, and bake immediately. This cake is very good, but does not improve with keeping more than a day or two. Time to bake, one or two hours, according to the size of the tins. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. Sufficient for two or three cakes.
