MRS BEETON'S VICTORIAN SEED CAKE - A VERY GOOD SEED CAKE ...
Yes, this IS a very good seed cake, but that's not my title, but how this recipe is listed in Mrs Beeton's cookbook of Household Management! I love seed cake, the aniseed flavours of the caraway seeds marry so well with the light sponge and subtle spices. You can also add optional chopped candied peel as my grandmother used to - it makes the cake moister. For your interest, I have posted the recipe as it orginally appeared, at the end of the modern adaptation. Seed cake was very popular during the Victorian era, it was often taken as a "Digestive" after a heavy meal or before retiring to bed, as caraway seeds are known for their soothing and digestive qualities. You can omit the brandy if you wish, and add milk in its place.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 170C/325F/gas mark 3 and grease and line a 7" (18cm) to 8" (20cm) round cake tin.
- Cream the butter with the sugar and then sift in the flour.
- Add the mace, nutmeg and caraway seeds and mix together well. (Add the chopped candied peel if using at this stage as well).
- Stir in the whisked eggs and the brandy.
- Beat the cake again for 2 to 3 minutes, until very smooth and with no lumps.
- Pour the mixture into a tin lined with buttered paper.
- Bake it for 1½ to 2 hours, until a skewer comes out clean when tested, and the cake is well risen, firm and golden brown.

VICTORIAN SEED CAKE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES
I read a lot of English novels, and often see Seed Cake mentioned as served at Tea. So I did some searching and came up with this recipe. The original was all in Victorian measurements, so I have changed them to modern measurements.
Seed Cake is discussed at length in Agatha Christie's novel, At Bertram's Hotel, as well as other older English novels. It is flavored with caraway seed, and has a slightly anise or licorice flavor to it. Adjust the amount of caraway seeds to suit your taste, beginning with the smaller amount if you are trying it for the first time.

POPPY SEED BUTTERMILK BUNDT® CAKE RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
This "from-scratch" recipe is consistently the best I have ever seen and used. My grandmothers, mother, myself, and now my daughter used and use this fail-safe recipe. Husband waits around to "clean" the mixing bowl! This cake is very good, if out on counter and wrapped, for up to 3 days. Great as a dessert or for breakfast! Can sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on top, or eat it plain. Freezes nicely if wrapped well.
