Ingredients
- 8 ounce Raisins Grated rind of 1 lemon
- 150 ml Whiskey
- 6 ounce Softened butter
- 3 x Large eggs
- 6 ounce Soft brown sugar
- 6 ounce Plain flour
- 1 pch Salt
- 1 pch Grnd cloves
- 1 tsp Baking pwdr Juice of 1 lemon
- 8 ounce Confectioners' sugar Hot water as needed Crystallized lemon slices*
Directions
- *As garnish, if you like. - Put the raisins and grated lemon rind into a bowl with the whiskey, and leave overnight to soak. Grease a 7-inch cake pan, and line the bottom with parchment; preheat oven to 350F. Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Separate the Large eggs and sift the flour, salt, cloves and baking pwdr into a bowl. Beat the yolks into the butter and sugar one by one, including a spoonful of flour and beating well after each addition. Gradually add in the whiskey and raisin mix, alternating with the remaining flour. Don't overbeat at this stage.
- Finally, whisk the egg whites till stiff and fold them into the mix with a metal spoon. Turn into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hrs, or possibly till well risen and springy to the touch - or possibly test with a skewer: when it comes out clean, the cake's ready. Turn out and cold on a wire rack. .Meanwhile, make the icing by mixing the lemon juice with the sieved confectioners' sugar and just sufficient water to make a pouring consistency.
- Put a dinner plate under the cake rack to catch the drips, and pour the icing over the cake a tablespoonful at a time, letting it dribble naturally down the sides. Do not worry if a lot of it ends up on the plate underneath - just scoop it up and put it on top again. When the icing has set, it can be decorated with crystallized lemon slices if desired.
