Here’s a mysterious handwritten recipe from the Red Plastic Box collection. I think it’s for a spice cake. What do you think?
Honestly, I don’t know how long to bake this, or in which pan to bake. I’m not even sure if it the title is Spice Leake or Spike Bake!
But I love that it’s from Dora, and that it’s considered fine!

Recipe Notes
I save part of the egg whites for icing and use part lard for the shortening. Dora.
