Spice Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cupful brown sugar
• 1/4 cupful molasses
• 1 cupful seeded raisins
• 3/4 cupful water
• 1/2 cupful fat
• 1/2 teaspoonful salt
• 1 teaspoonful nutmeg
• 2 teaspoonfuls cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoonful cloves
• 2 1/2 cupfuls flour
• 1/4 teaspoonful baking soda
• 3 1/2 teaspoonfuls baking powder

Instructions

In a saucepan mix all the ingredients except flour and leavening materials. Stir and cook the mixture at boiling temperature for 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Through a sifter, add the leavening materials and flour. Beat well. Turn into an oiled loaf-cake pan and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) from 45 to 60 minutes.

Chopped nuts — 1/2 cupful — may be added to this cake. This addition, however, increases the cost. For economy the raisins may be omitted.
