Golden Spice Cake

Ingredients

• yolks of 7 eggs
• 1 whole egg
• 2 cupfuls of brown sugar
• 1 cupful of molasses
• 1 cupful of butter
• 1 large coffeecupful of sour milk
• 1 teaspoonful of soda (just even full)
• 5 cupfuls of flour
• 1 teaspoonful of ground cloves
• 2 teaspoonfuls of cinnamon
• 2 teaspoonfuls of ginger
• 1 nutmeg
• small pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

This cake can be made to advantage when you have the yolks of eggs left, after having used the whites in making white cake. Beat eggs, sugar and butter to a light batter before putting in the molasses, then add the molasses, flour and milk; beat it well together and bake in a moderate oven; if fruit is used, take two cupfuls of raisins, flour them well and put them in last.
