1/2 cup cream or half-and-half

1 heaping tablespoon Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Blackstrap Molasses

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup Billington's Demerara Sugar

3 cage-free eggs

2 cups currants

2 2/3 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Heat the cream and mix in molasses.  In a separate bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy.  Gradually add the sugar.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Stir in the cream and molasses mixture, then add the currants.  Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the wet mixture.  Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Serves 6 to 8.
