For a Seed Cake

Yesterday, the bake oven was filled with manchets, French bread, and seed cakes.  The seed cake in the cake hoop that I am holding was prepared from a manuscript receipt book.  Unlike the bread which baked right on the floor of the oven; the Seed Cake, filled with caraway comfits and caraway seeds, baked in a tin cake hoop on a sheet of brown paper and goes in the oven on a tinned bake oven sheet.  I find that tin baking sheets are the easiest to place in and out of the oven if the sheet has slightly turned-up sides as you see in the picture.
