What does this mean?

I found this when i was going though a box of my mums things. She used to make this for us all the time when I was younger, and it's a really nice moist cake. I'm hopeless at changing ounces to grams, so I've used ounces as mum had it written.

  • Made this last night and ate it this afternoon. I followed the recipe but used butter instead of marg, raisins instead of sultanas, and added a half teaspoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon. Cake has a slight crumbly texture but this contrasted nicely with the moist apple. It went down very well with the people I served it to.
