Servings: persons

4 cups unsifted flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
2 cups dark seedless raisins
1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 1/2 cups buttermilk or 1 1/2 cups sour milk
1 egg, Beaten

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
You'll need two 8-inch round greased cake pans.
3
Blend together in a large bowl flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cardamom.
4
Cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. A pastry cutter works really well for this.
5
Add raisins, caraway seeds, milk and egg and stir until blended. Dough will be stiff.
6
Turn out dough from bowl and knead on floured board or counter for about one minute, until smooth.
7
Divide dough into two balls. I weigh the dough on my kitchen scale to get two loaves of equal weight/size.
8
Place in two greased 8-inch round cake pans. Flatten dough to fill pans. Cut a cross in top of each loaf.
9
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
