Polish Cake. Baba

Requires 5 hours time to make, raise and bake. 1 pound of good, light roll dough. 1 1/4 pounds of butter. 6 ounces of sugar. 14 eggs. 1 pound of flour. 8 ounces of raisins. 6 ounces of currants. 4 ounces of citron. Half cup of brandy. Lemon and nutmeg extracts.

These cakes made with dough are all started alike. Warm the dough, butter and sugar together, mix and then set away half an hour, when the ingredients can be mixed better; then beat in the eggs two at a time and handfuls of flour alternately. Beat well; rise 2 hours. Beat again, add the flavorings, brandy and fruit. Line the cake moulds with buttered paper. Let the batter rise in the moulds about 2 hours, then bake, about an hour.
