Bread or Raised Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cupfuls of raised dough
• 2/3 cup of butter
• 2 cups of sugar
• 3 eggs, well beaten
• 1 even teaspoonful of soda
• 2 tablespoonfuls of milk
• 1/2 nutmeg grated
• 1 tablespoonful of cinnamon
• 1 teaspoonful of cloves
• 1 cup of raisins

Instructions

Take raised dough; beat into it butter and sugar creamed together, eggs, soda dissolved in milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, 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. Half a glass of brandy is an improvement, if you have it convenient.
