The _Northampton-Cake._

Take a Peck of Flour, and a Pound of fine Sugar beaten well into Powder,

and sifted; then add a quarter of an Ounce of Cloves, half an Ounce of

Cinnamon, and a large Nutmeg, and beat them to powder; put to this some

Orange-Flower-Water, or Rose-Water; then take five or six Pounds of Currans

well pick'd, and rub'd dry with a coarse Cloth, but not wash'd. Put these

with your Fruit, and a little Salt into the Flour; then take as much Cream

as you think proper: then melt two Pounds of Butter, to mix with it, and

add a Pint of Canary-Wine, and kneed it with some fresh Ale-Yeast, till it

rises under your hand. Have your Oven hot before you put it in the Hoop for

Baking.
