Five Eggs (Beat the butter and sugar)

Beat the butter and sugar to a cream; add the flour, sifted by degrees, and the eggs, one at a time, beating all well together with your hand.

Now add the sultanas, the candied peel chopped up, and the grated rind of the lemon; mix all well together with a spoon. Line a cake-tin with buttered paper, putting three rounds of buttered paper at the bottom of the tin; pour in the cake and bake for two hours in a moderate oven.

When baked, turn it out on to a sieve to cool.
