Easy Fruit−cake

Easy Fruit−cake

Ingredients:
1 cup butter.
1 cup sugar.
1 cup molasses.
1 cup milk.
1 cup currants.
1 cup raisins.
1 egg.
1 teaspoonful soda.
2 teaspoonfuls mixed spices.
3 cups flour.

Directions:
Wash and dry the currants. Buy the seeded raisins and wash these, too, and then chop them. Cream the butter
and sugar, add the egg beaten well without separating, then the molasses with the soda stirred in it, then the
milk, then the cinnamon and cloves. Measure the flour, and then take out a half−cup of it, and stir in the
raisins and currants, to keep them from going to the bottom of the cake when it is baked. Stir these in, add the
rest of the flour, and beat well. Bake in two buttered bread−pans.
