Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

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 room temperature (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
3/4 cup Demerara sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups currants

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan; set aside.
  • 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.
  • Pour into prepared pan, and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.

This is the worst currant cake I've ever had. It was dry, crumbly, and tasteless.
