Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 eggs + 1 egg
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins , soaked in whiskey or you can even substitute candied orange peel or cherries or cranberries...
note: sometimes i add the whiskey that the raisins have been soaking in and omit the lemon extract.
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/4 tsp cardamom ( you can add more , it depends on your personal taste)
icing
i make a simple glaze to drizzle over the top.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease an 11 inch loaf pan.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.
Stir in the milk, lemon(or Whiskey) and cardamom.
Mix in the flour and baking powder.
If you prefer raisins that have not been re-hydrated, I suggest that you sift a little flour over the raisins then stir them into the batter. Otherwise, I just add the plumped up raisins as they are.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 55 to 60 minutes.
8 to 10 slices
