Caraway Seed Loaf Cake Recipes

ENGLISH CARAWAY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C). Grease and flour the bottom and sides of an 8 inch round cake pan with 1 tablespoon softened butter or margarine.
• Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.
• Cream 1/2 cup butter or margarine and sugar together. Mix in caraway seeds and egg. Add flour mixture and milk, beating well. Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool.

CARAWAY SEED CAKE

Steps:

• What you do is sift the flour into a roomy mixing bowl, lifting the sieve quite high to give the flour a good airing as it goes down, then simply add all the other ingredients. Now, using an electric hand whisk, combine them for about 1 minute until you have a smooth creamy consistency. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin. Level off the surface with the back of a spoon, then sprinkle the demerara sugar and crushed almonds all over. Bake on a lower shelf so that the top of the tin is aligned with the centre of the oven for about 1 hour 5 minutes, or until the cake is springy in the centre. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. I think that this cake tastes better after a day or two, so leave it in its liner and store in a tin.
