Loaf Cake

Another method of making loaf cake, was with bread dough. The tested rule for this is three cups of risen dough, one and one-half cups of sugar, three-quarters of a cup of melted butter, three eggs, a cup of raisins, and half a nutmeg. Mix the sugar and butter into the dough with the hand; then beat the batter vigorously, working the ingredients thoroughly together. Add the raisins last of all. Pour the batter into buttered pans and let it rise in them for half an hour; then let it bake for an hour in an oven after the bread is taken out. A feature of these cakes was a thick icing which completely covered them.
