Clove Cake-An old Shaker recipe

2 eggs

1 cup molasses

½ cup butter

1 cup raisins

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon soda

¼ teaspoon salt

 

Mix ingredients in order given. A teaspoon of vanilla may be added. Bake at

350* for 45 minutes.

 

The top should be lightly frosted. Make a frosting of the whites of eggs and 1½

cups confectioner’s sugar and spread between layers and over the top and sides

of cake.

 

This is how the recipe was given me, but it fills my square baking dish plus an

individual casserole baking dish. It isn't a layer cake.
