The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living
February 7th : A PLAIN CAKE
Rub together half a pound of butter and a pound and a half of flour ; then add half a pound of loaf sugar, a table-spoonful of carbonate of soda, half a pound of caraway seeds; mix all together in a pint of new milk. Bake directly. An hour and a half in the oven will be found sufficient.
