Bristolian Cake

A little bit of cooking this time. The other day I came along this recipe while surfing the web. It said it was called Bristol Cake, but I am not really sure how Bristolian it is. Whether or not it is a real Bristolian Cake, I decided to give it a try. And it happened the result was pretty good!!

This is all you need:

• 100g Butter
• 150g Sugar
• 175g Flour
• 75g Currants
• 3 Eggs
• 1 Grated Rind of Lemon
• 4 tablespoonfuls of Milk
• 1 tablespoonfuls of Baking Powder
• 1 Egg White

How to do it:

1. First, warm and beat the butter to a cream and add the sugar in one bowl. 
2. Take a second bowl and beat the eggs, adding sifted flour to it. Add the mix to the butter and sugar and beat the mixture well. 
3. Once you have an homogenous mixture, stir in the currants, lemon rind, milk and baking powder. 
4. Pour the mixture into a greased round cake tin and put it inside the pre-heated oven (180ºC). 
5. Bake the cake for about 50 minutes at 180ºC. 
6. Just 10 minutes before the cake is done, brush the top of the cake with egg white and sprinkle well with sugar.

And the resulting cake is...
