English Tea Cake
These wonderful little cakes are perfect for high tea. A muffin tin works fine if you don't have a gem pan handy. Gems are a Victorian style cake that were very popular.
Ingredients:
| 1/2 pound | unsalted butter |
| 1/2 pound | white sugar |
| 3/4 pound | all purpose flour |
| 1/4 pound | currants |
| 6 | large eggs |
| 1 teaspoon | baking powder |
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar until light. Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time beating well between additions, scrape bowl as needed. Add the flour and incorporate fully. Add the currants (after they have soaked in water) and bake in a pre heated gem pan for 20 to 25 minutes.
