- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
- Put currents or dates in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of flour mixture to currants and stir until well coated.
- Add remaining flour to batter, alternating with buttermilk.
- Mix until smooth.
- Use a wooden spoon to sir in currants and all of the flour.
- Stir until well combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth surface wth spatula.
- Bake until well-browned and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour 25 minutes.(time will vary, keep an eye on it!)
- Cake will crack on top
- Let cake rest in pan 10 minutes.
- Use a flexible metal spatula to separate cake from sides of pan. Carefully remove cake from pan to cooling rack.
