1 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 cup raisins
1 T grated lemon rind or orange rind
3 cups flour
3 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/4 t mace
1/2 t lemon or orange extract
1/2 t vanilla
1 cup milk
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Stir in raisins and lemon rind. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add to raisin mixture alternately with combined milk and extracts. Pour into greased and floured spring form mold with hole. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes. Makes one ring loaf.
I was kind of bummed that I don't have a ring loaf pan, but I used a regular bread pan instead. I loved the flavors of the lemon in this, and also you don't get a chance to use mace very often! I thought this was a little too dry however and crumbly on the outside, which is too bad. I think if it was a different consistency I would save this one.
