Source of Recipe


Everyday Food


List of Ingredients




2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half

1 heaping tablespoon molasses

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) room temperature unsalted butter, plus more for pan

3/4 cup Demerara sugar

3 large eggs

2 cups currants


Recipe



1. Preheat the oven to 325°. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Butter a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan; set aside.

2. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat. Stir in molasses. In a medium bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Stir in the cream mixture, then the currants. Add the dry ingredients and beat to combine.

3. Pour into prepared pan, and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
