1919 Australian Dark Cake Recipe – Treacle Cake Recipe – Old Cookbook Show Glen And Friends Cooking

1919 Australian Dark Cake Recipe – Old Cookbook Show – Glen And Friends Cooking
This is at it’s core what we would call here in Canada a Molasses Cake or a Molasses Spice Cake, mostly because black treacle and cakes with black treacle isn’t very common here. But in other parts of the world black treacle is more common than molasses so this dark cake recipe is probably more widely know as a Treacle Cake Recipe, black treacle cake recipe or a treacle cake with fruit.

Dark Cake:
One cup each of sugar, butter, milk, and treacle, 3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 cups raisins and currants, 4 eggs, candied peel, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves, few drops vanilla. Beat butter and sugar to a cream, add eggs, flour, milk, then other ingredients. Bake 2 hours.
