Connecticut Election Cake Recipe

From MRS. HELEN C. BRAYTON, of South Carolina, Vice-President State
Board and Lady Manager.
Four pounds flour; two pounds butter; two and one-half pounds sugar;
two and one-half pounds raisins; one-half pound citron; one-half ounce
mace; tumbler of brandy; one pint yeast; one and one-half pint milk;
eight eggs. Add to the yeast one pint of milk; then beat in smoothly
three pints of flour. Take all the flour and half the sugar and butter
(when beaten to a cream); add the milk and yeast and make a dough a
little softer than bread. When raised very light, add remainder of
ingredients and let it rise again. When very light put into pans. Bake
in moderate oven one hour.
