Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 to 115 f)
1 1/2 cups sugar (divided )
4 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (divided )
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, 2 sticks, room temperature
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp ground mace
3 large eggs
2 tbsp brandy
2 tbsp sweet sherry
1 cup seedless raisin
1 cup dried currant
1/2 cup citron, thinly sliced

Directions:

FOR THE CAKE: Soften yeast in warm water. Beat in 2 tablespoons of the sugar and 1 cup of the flour. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size.
Blend butter or margarine with salt, spices and remaining sugar. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Add next 5 ingredients. Mix well. Beat in remaining flour and continue beating until batter is smooth. Turn into a greased 10 x 4 inch tube pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 2 hours.
Bake in a preheated moderate oven 350°F 1 hour or until browned. Turn onto a wire rack to cool. Spread top and sides with Butter Cream Frosting. If desired, place boxwood or blueberry leaves around the top edge of cake. Yield: One 10-inch tube cake.
FOR THE BUTTER CREAM: Add sugar and cream or milk alternately to butter or margarine, using just enough to make frosting of smooth spreading consistency. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon mace and vanilla extract. Spread over cold cake. Yield: Frosting for top and sides of a 10 x 4 inch tube cake.
