Ginger Cake #2 Scratch

3 cup All-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 Tablespoon Ground ginger
1/3 cup Golden raisins
1/3 cup Chopped mixed candied peel
1/3 cup Crystallized ginger, chopped
3/4 cup Molasses
3/4 cup Butter
1/3 cup Packed brown sugar
3 Eggs beaten
2-3 Tablespoon milk


 


 

A rich cake, this improves with keeping in an airtight tin. Preheat oven to 325F. Generously grease an 8-inch square baking pan set aside. Sift flour, salt, baking soda and ground ginger into a large bowl. Stir in raisins (plump then in some sherry or water before using), candied peel and crystallized ginger set aside. In a medium-size saucepan, combine molasses, butter and brown sugar. Stir over low heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs and milk. Make a well in center of reserved dry ingredients. Pour in molasses mixture and beat thoroughly. Pour into cake pan. Bake 1 1/4 hours, or until top springs back when lightly touched with finger. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Makes 8 to 12 servings.
