Manor House Cake Recipes
MANOR HOUSE CAKE
Today's recipe for Manor House Cake is adapted from a recipe I found in an old notebook, that was in a box of old, vintage books I bought many years ago. It appears the notebook was started in 1919, and the last entry was in 1936. The notes that accompanied the recipe for Manor House Cake suggested that it was a "plain cake" that might have been served for elevenses or high tea in a "house of great standing". There is a commercial cake of this name, that was made famous by the British cake company that boasts that it "makes exceedingly good cakes". But, I often find that it is a bit too dry and very crumbly, and, sadly is has palm oil in it too. A homemade version of the famous Manor House Cake is all together a different matter; the cake IS crumbly, but isn't dry at all, and has a few more sultanas than the commercial brand. In an attempt to make the cake moister, I have added a couple of tablespoons of homemade Seville orange marmalade, and the grated zest of a Seville orange, both of which add a fabulous citrus zing to the cake, the marmalade thus making it moister too. This is a small cake, but it does keep very well in a tin for up to a week, if you are a solo cake diner or just a couple. The marmalade and orange zest can be omitted for a more authentic Manor House Cake, and as written in the old notebook, but the Demerara sugar is an absolute must for a totally original cake, as made in "houses of great standing" and by the makers of "exceedingly good cakes"! I have added some notes how to make sure your sultanas don't sink to the bottom of the cake, as well as a few other baking tips. Please DO enjoy this cake if you make it, with a pot of freshly made tea of course.
