Ingredients
- three cups milk
- two cups sugar
- one cup yeast
- two cups butter
- one tablespoonful cinnamon
- one pound raisins
- a gill of brandy
- a tablespoonful of milk in the morning
- three eggs
- nutmeg
- cinnamon
Directions
Three cups milk, two cups sugar, one cup yeast; stir to a batter and let stand over night; in the morning add two cups sugar, two cups butter, three eggs, half a nutmeg, one tablespoonful cinnamon, one pound raisins, a gill of brandy.
Brown sugar is much better than white for this kind of cake, and it is improved by dissolving a half-teaspoonful of soda in a tablespoonful of milk in the morning. It should stand in the greased pans and rise some time until quite light before baking.
