Seed Cake No 2 Recipe
Take a pound and a half of butter; beat it to a cream with your hand or
a flat stick; beat twelve eggs, the yolks in one pan and the whites in
another, as light as possible, and then beat them together, adding by
degrees one pound and a half of well dried and sifted loaf-sugar, and a
little sack and brandy. When the oven is nearly ready, mix all together,
with one pound and a half of well dried and sifted flour, half a pound
of sliced almonds, and some caraway seeds: beat it well with your hand
before you put it into the hoop.
