Traveler's Cake

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup white flour
2 ounces candied orange peel or citron
1/2  pound currants

Cream butter. Gradually add sugar and continue beating. Add beaten
eggs.  Mix currants and candied orange peel with flour before slowly
adding to butter mixture.  Pour into a greased and floured small
(7x3x2 inch) loaf pan.  Bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or until
done and slightly brown.  Remove from pan. Wrap in aluminum foil
while still warm. Cake keeps moist for several days.  Four times
this recipe makes 3 large loaves (9x5x2 inch).

Variation:  Use 1 cup chocolate chips instead of the candied orange
peel and citron.
