IRISH PORK CAKE (2)

Today , five days after having prepared the original Irish pork cake, I unwrapped the cake, sliced and sampled the cake. This cake is a suprise on all levels. It is a real cake , well formed, easily sliced and slightly crumbly in the mouth. This recipe is from multiple decades ago, I used ingredients that I thought would have been similiar and certainly frowned upon now a days, then baked in an oven that was not combustion. The result was still amazing . I love the recipes from long ago and the challenge to find equivalent ingredients and reproduce what was intended, never forgetting that the original recipes were made without all the 'super' electric equipment and ovens we have today.
