1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

Cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs. Beat in the dry ingredients.

Very good! The carraway seed add a good taste to this cake. I tryed cooking them in a muffin tin and they did very well. I'm thinking of using this as a base fore "the Perfect Confection" , a project a friend and I are working on

I love this recipe! I have used it for a few years now.

This is the classic English seed-cake recipe as would have been enjoyed by the Tolkien children, and which English children, including me, expected their grandmothers to make. The caraway seeds are the key.
