- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (you can add more, it depends on your personal taste) shopping list
- Icing: shopping list

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease an 11 inch loaf pan.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.
- Stir in the milk, lemon(or Whiskey) and cardamom.
- Mix in the flour and baking powder.
- If you prefer raisins that have not been re-hydrated, I suggest that you sift a little flour over the raisins then stir them into the batter. Otherwise, I just add the plumped up raisins as they are.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 55 to 60 minutes.
- 8 to 10 slices
