sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating each

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 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 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 3 days at room temperature in foil.
Cake can also be frozen up to 3 months, wrapped airtight. FOR GLAZE,
