School Cake 1920s (The Anerly Cookbook)

Here is a very basic cake recipe. I can imagine it would have plenty of scope for adding to or modifying.

1lb self raising flour
6ozs butter or lard
4ozs castor sugar
2ozs currants
2ozs sultanas
2ozs raisins, stoned and chopped
2 eggs, well beaten

Rub the butter or lard into the flour then add the other ingredients also a drop of milk if required.

Put in a well greased tin and bake for one and a half hours.

1/2oz mustard
3/4lb moist sugar
2ozs eschalots
9 small chillies
14 cloves
1/2oz tumeric

Cut the marrow in to 1/4 inch squares, put into a colander and sprinkle with salt. Leave one night then strain.

Boil all other ingredients together for 10 minutes then put in the marrow and boil slowly until tender.

Video Recipe: Parsnip Pudding - 1920's

So I want to mix it up a bit.  This is a recipe from the 1920's, courtesy of TheVintageKitchen on Youtube.  It shouldn't be such a suprise but I found that there are, in fact, tons of high quality videos showing you step-by-step how to make some delicious vintage recipes.

TheVintageKitchen is just one of these channels.  Thanks to this recipe, I am now tempted to overcome my hatred of parsnip!
