  • Set oven rack in middle of oven; preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a bowl, stir 2 ¼ cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar with the paddle on medium speed until soft and light, about 5 minutes; add in egg, beating until smooth.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in half the flour mixture.
  • Stop and scrape down the bowl and beater with a rubber spatula.
  • Beat in the buttermilk, then the remaining flour mixture.
  • Give the batter a final mix with the spatula.
  • Toss the currants and raisins with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and fold them into the batter.
  • Scrape batter into the prepared pan; smooth the top.
  • Bake for about 45-55 minutes or until the cake is well risen and deep gold and a pick comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on a rack for about 30 minutes, then invert the cake onto a rack and remove the pan and paper.
  • Invert the cake onto another rack and cool completely.
  • Storage: wrap in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature, or double-wrap and freeze for longer storage.
