Seed Cakes
A plain butter cake flavoured with caraway seeds.
Method
Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line one cake tin with baking paper and butter the paper. Sift the half pound of plain flour.
Step 2
Put the two ounces of butter in a bowl and beat briskly with a spatula for five minutes. Add the four ounces of granulated sugar and beat thoroughly for another three minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the three eggs one at a time, incorporating each before the next. Very gradually stir in all the sifted flour and a few caraway seeds. Put all the batter in the prepared tin.
Step 4
Bake for about forty minutes. Check that the top is golden, the edges begin to pull away from the tin, the centre springs back gently and a thin knife inserted into the centre comes out without wet batter; continue baking as needed to reach these signs.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle safely. Detach the paper, cut the whole cake into six equal pieces and serve.
