2 eggs
1 lb (450g) plain flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4oz (110g) raisins or sultanas

put all the ingredients except the raisins and chocolate drops in a bowl and mix well. you can do this by hand or with an electric whisk or hand blender. fold in the raisins or sultanas and chocolate drops. pour into two greased and lined 2lb loaf tins and bake for approximately 50 minutes untill they're firm and golden brown.

use the best ingredients you can afford!

this cake freezes well, use within a month, doesn't last that long in my house!
you can also add 4oz chopped nuts if your kids will tolerate them. walnuts are best but any will do!
