English Caraway Cake Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with baking parchment.
• Beat the caster sugar and butter using an electric whisk or wooden spoon. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla, then gently stir in the flour, ground almonds, milk and caraway seeds.
• Pour the mixture into the tin. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and flaked almonds, then bake for 1 hr or until a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean. Remove from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
