Traveler's Cake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup white flour
- 2 ounce candied orange peel or citron
- 1/2 pound currants
Instructions
Cream butter. Gradually add sugar and continue beating. Add beaten eggs. Mix currants and candied orange peel with flour before slowly adding to butter mixture. Pour into a greased and floured small (7x3x2 inch) loaf pan. Bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or until done and slightly brown. Remove from pan. Wrap in aluminum foil while still warm. Cake keeps moist for several days. Four times this recipe makes 3 large loaves (9x5x2 inch). Variation: Use 1 cup chocolate chips instead of the candied orange peel and citron.
