RAISIN
BREAD OR RAISED CAKE
Two cups of
raised dough; beat
into it two-thirds of a cup of butter and two cups of sugar creamed
together,
three eggs, well beaten, one even teaspoon of soda dissolved in two
tablespoons
of milk, half a nutmeg grated, one tablespoon of cinnamon, a teaspoon
of
cloves, one cup of raisins. Mix all well together, put in the beaten
whites
of eggs and raisins last; beat all hard for several minutes; put in
buttered
pans and let it stand half an hour to rise again before baking. Bake in
a moderate oven.
NOTE: Half a glass
of brandy is an improvement, if you have it convenient. |

DRIED
APPLE FRUIT CAKE
Soak three
cups of dried apples
over night in cold water enough to swell them; chop them in the morning
and put them on the fire with three cups of molasses; stew until almost
soft; add a cupful of nice raisins (seedless, if possible) and stew a
few
moments; when cold, add three cups of flour, one cup of butter, three
eggs
and a teaspoon of soda; bake in a steady oven. This will make two
good-sized
pans of splendid cake; the apples will cook like citron and taste
deliciously.
Raisins may be omitted; also spices to taste may be added. A delicious
cake. |

In the
18th century in some areas in Europe, fruitcakes
were made using nuts from the harvest for good luck in the following
year. The cake was then saved and eaten before the harvest of the next
year. The fruitcake also remained popular at Victorian Teas in England
throughout the 19th century.
In the Bahamas, not only is the fruitcake drenched with rum, but the
ingredients are as well. All of the candied fruit, walnuts, and raisins
are placed in an enclosed container and are soaked with the darkest
variety of rum, anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months in advance. The cake
ingredients are mixed, and once the cake has finished baking, rum is
poured onto it while it is still hot.
