- 1/2 cup sugar

- 2 tsp caraway seeds
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature

Spray a small loaf pan (8 x 4 inch) or a 7-inch/18 cm round cake pan with non-stick spray. Preheat oven to 400F/299C.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and add the caraway seed; set aside.
Beat butter and sugar until mixture is pale, then add the eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
Stir in the flour mixture and add enough milk to get a dropping consistency (batter will be stiff, much like a pound cake).
Spread in prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the enter comes out clean.
