How to Make Welsh Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a tube pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup Crisco shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup raisins (or a combination of 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup caraway seeds, and 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit, or 1 cup shredded coconut).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
