Any good recipes for drop cakes?

I've been wanting a drop cake for the last week or so, only to find out the only bakery I've ever found that makes them has gone out of business! Anyone have a good recipe for drop cakes? If I can't buy them, I at least want to figure out how to make them.Any good recipes for drop cakes?
How about this one





Currant Cakes(Old-Fashioned Christmas Drop Cakes)





1 lb Sugar


1 lb Butter


6 ea Egg


3/4 lb Flour


1/4 t Salt


1/2 lb Currants


1 ea Lemon, juice of


1 ea Lemon, rind of





Mix the currants with some of the flour. Work butter and sugar together to a smooth cream, then slowly work in whole eggs one at a time. Add a little of the flour, rind and juice of the lemon and salt. Work in slowly the rest of the flour and the currants. Drop by spoonfuls on large buttered pans, pressing flat with a knife as the cakes are better when very thin. A good plan is to heat the pan a bit and allow the cakes to melt as much as possible before putting them in the oven to bake. Be sure to butter the pans thoroughly; otherwise, the thin cakes will be difficult to remove. (recipe didn't include baking time or temp).Any good recipes for drop cakes?
