Shaker Clove Cake

[Guest guest]

An old Shaker recipe and family favorite. I use a plain white frosting,

without eggs. (Confectioner's sugar, tiny bit milk, margarine, vanilla extract.)

I also make this in a small sheet cake pan.

 

Clove Cake

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

1 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar and spread between layers and over the top and

sides of cake.
