Directions

Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve.

Add 2 teaspoon sugar and 1½ cup flour and beat well by hand, or 2 minutes with electric mixer at medium speed.

Cover and let rise in warm place until bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.

Sift remaining 3 cup flour with salt, cinnamon, cloves, mace and nutmeg.

When yeast mixture is bubbly, add eggs to creamed butter and sugar and beat well.

Combine with yeast mixture.

Add remaining dry ingredients (flour, salt and spices), a little at a time, beating with spoon after each addition.

Beat until smooth.

Stir in raisins, citron and nuts.

Pour into well greased and floured 10 inch tube pan.

Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1½ hours.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) 1 hour.

Cool in pan 5 minutes; turn out on rack to finish cooling.

While faintly warm, spread with Confectioners Sugar Frosting.

CONFECTIONERS SUGAR FROSTING: To 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar, add enough milk or light cream to make mixture of spreading consistency.

Add ½ teaspoon vanilla and a dash of salt (or flavor with ½ teaspoon lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon grated lemon peel).

Stir until smooth.

Spread on cake.
