B2MeM Fill: Seed Cake Recipe!

A recipe for Bilbo's seed cake, with photos!




This seed cake uses caraway seeds. I looked at a number of caraway seed cake recipes when coming up with this one. The cake was very good on its own; a taste-testing friend suggested a lemon glaze, which I will try next time. It's perfect to serve with tea, and I will definitely be making it again in the future!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour bundt pan. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla and about 1/3 cup of flour, beat for about five minutes. Add the rest of the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat just until blended. Add the caraway seeds and mix just until combined. Pour into bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean - about 25-35 minutes.

I hope you enjoy this little taste of the Shire!
