This is a Recipe from the published cookbook The Gorumet Hobbit as pre request by Mark 12:30.

Seed Cakes

3 1/2 Cups flour 4 eggs
1 lb butter 2 Tbsp milk
2 Cups sugar 2 oz Caraway seeds
(Hmm... I would have used poppy seeds, myself)

Beat butter until it creams. Add sugar & beat again. Add the 4 eggs, well beaten, and 2 Tbsp milk. Beat again & add caraway seeds. Slowly mix in flour to make a firm batter. Pour into greased & floured cake pans. Bake in moderate oven until toothpick comes out clean.

As you can see the recipes from this book can be rather vague, so if anyone tries this let me know about size of pans and oven temp. so I can edit it.
