- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in Whiskey or you can even substitute candied orange peel or cherries or cranberries...
- Note: Sometimes I add the Whiskey that the raisins have been soaking in and omit the lemon extract.
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (you can add more, it depends on your personal taste)
- Icing:
- I make a simple glaze to drizzle over the top.
Directions
- 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
