Dora’s Spice Cake

October 9, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

Here’s a mysterious handwritten recipe from the Red Plastic Box collection. I think it’s for a spice cake. What do you think?

handwritten recipe for spice cake from dora

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!

Spice Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sour milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and sugar and add beaten eggs. 
  2. Sift all dry ingredients together and add alternately with milk.

Recipe Notes

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

(This is fine. )
