I learned to make this recipe as a child. The original recipe came directly from Ireland. It is a wonderful addition to any meal but most appreciated with coffee or tea.

• 1 cup sugar
• 4 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 heaping tablespoons shortening
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup golden raisins
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
• Topping
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add raisins,shortening,eggs and buttermilk and caraway seeds. Knead with hands. Dough will be very heavy.

Place in greased tube pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden.

Melt butter and pour on top. Sprinkle with sugar.
