Hickory Nut or Walnut Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups of fine white sugar creamed with butter
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 3 eggs
• 2/3 cup of sweet milk
• 3 cups of sifted flour
• 1 heaping teaspoonful of baking powder sifted through the flour
• 1 tablespoonful (level) of powdered mace
• 1 coffeecup of hickory nut or walnut meats chopped a little

Instructions

Fill the cake-pans with a layer of the cake, then a layer of raisins upon that, then strew over these a handful of nuts, and so on until the pan is two-thirds full. Line the tins with well-buttered paper and bake in a steady, but not quick, oven. This is most excellent.
