Rose Bowles' Spice Cake
Aunt Be had this recipe in her own handwriting. It is incomplete, but it obviously had enough information for her experience to handle the rest. I decided not to try to embellish, but leave it to the reader to determine for themselves.
3/4 cup sugar
5 Tbsp margarine (now butter or shortening)
3 Tbsp molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg pinch allspice
1 3/4 cups flour
pinch salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp lemon extract
3/4 cup raisins
1 tsp vinegar
1 cup milk (put the vinegar in the milk to sour it.)
Bake in loaf pans. (350? til knife comes out clean)
