Does anyone have a good recipe for a schrewbury cake?

Shrewsbury Cake





A luxurious cake with a luscious texture, this traditional teatime delicacy is based on an 1812 recipe. The original appears on the left. For this update recipe, I've used modern standard measurements and made the cake a little lighter.





1 1/2 sticks of butter





1 1/3 cup sugar





4 eggs





3 1/2 cups flour





2 teaspoons baking powder





1 teaspoon mace or allspice





In mixing bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugar and butter, mixing until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and spice. Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time. Pour into greased and floured cake pan; bake at 300 degree for 20-25 minute, or until a light golden brown.





Serving suggestions: Sift a little powdered sugar over the cake, or pour on light lemon glaze icing 10 minutes before serving. Decorate with candied flower petals. Serve with fresh fruit and chantilly cream.Does anyone have a good recipe for a schrewbury cake?
