Madeira Cake Recipe
Madeira Cake Recipe gives you an excellent cake for cutting into shapes or sculpting as it will not crumble when cut.
Ingredients
8 oz butter
grated rind of ½ lemon
10 oz caster sugar
5 eggs
13 oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1 rounded teaspoon baking powder
1 teacup milk
slice of candied citron peel
8-inch diameter cake tin
Method
Prepare the cake tin and set the oven at 350° F or Mark 4.
Cream the butter with the grated lemon rind in a bowl, add the sugar gradually and continue beating until the mixture is light and soft. Beat in the eggs one at a time, each with 1 dessertspoon of flour, and then sift the remaining flour with the salt and baking powder and fold into the mixture with the milk. Turn into the prepared tin and bake in pre-set oven for about 1½ hours.
After the first 30 minutes place the slice of citron peel on top of the cake, and after 1 hour reduce the heat to 325°F or Mark 3. To test if cake is done, press lightly with fingertips it should spring back.
150 g (5 oz) butter or margarine
150 g (5 oz) caster sugar
3 medium eggs, lightly whisked
225 g (8 oz) Be-Ro Self Raising Flour
few drops lemon essence
thin slices citron peel (optional)
1 Heat oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Grease an 18 cm (7 inch) cake tin.
2 Cream fat and sugar, beat in lightly whisked eggs with a little flour.
3 Add essence, then fold in the remaining flour.
4 Bake for about 1¼ hours. Place peel on top after half an hour in the oven
A popular version over here is to add vanilla extract instead of lemon essence and to fold in 2oz chopped glace cherries
for a chocolate version again use vanilla instead of lemon and swap 2oz flour for 2oz cocoa powder
