ingredients
Cake
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup dried currants
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cup cake flour
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Glaze
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F with rack in center of oven. Generously grease a 9-inch (7-cup capacity) loaf pan. Dust with flour, then tap pan over sink to discard excess flour. Cut a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper to fit the bottom of pan. Set aside.
FOR CAKE: Use a mixer to cream butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating each until fluffy. Add cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Put currants in small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of flour mixture to currants. Stir currants until well coated. Add remaining flour to batter, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until smooth.
Use a wooden spoon to stir in currants and all of the flour. Stir until well combined.
Transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth surface with spatula. Bake until well browned and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 25 minutes. Cake will crack on top.
Let cake rest in pan for 10 minutes. Use a flexible metal spatula to separate cake from sides of pan. Carefully remove cake from pan to cooling rack.
Spread glaze on warm cake. Let cake cool completely. Cake can be stored for 3 days at room temperature in foil. Cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months, wrapped airtight.
FOR GLAZE: Combine sugar and lemon juice in small bowl. Stir until smooth.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
reviews & comments
The recipe for Glazed Irish Tea Cakes has a listing of ingredients that does not match the instructions on making the glaze. It's a big difference.
The submitter of the recipe simply had some of the cake ingredients in the glaze ingredients (if you read the directions you see reference to cream cheese and flour which they mistakenly put in the glaze section, not the cake section)
