Light Plum Cake

8 oz Flour
4 oz Brown sugar
4 oz Butter
2 Eggs; beaten
3 tb Milk
2 oz Currants
2 oz Raisins
2 oz Peel; mixed
1 ts Bicarbonate of soda
2 ts Spice; mixed

Set oven to 375 degrees F or Mark 5. Grease a 7 inch round cake tin and line with greaseproof paper. Cream the fat and sugar together in a bowl. Sift together the flour, mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda and add, alternately with the beaten eggs and the milk, to the creamed mixture. The mixture should be quite moist. Mix in the fruits. Transfer to the tin and bake for 1 1/4 hours, reducing the heat to 350 degrees F or Mark 4 after 30 minutes. If the top starts to brown, cover with foil. When cooked turn out on to a wire rack and allow to cool.
