Hi, I'm bj and so glad to meet you. This cake was made by my mom back in the 50's..I was a teen during the early to middle 50's, finishing hi school in '56. Let me just say...this was a WONDERFUL time to be a teen. I am looking forward to reading thru your recipe files...just looking at the list i see one of our favorites that I fix all the time...Corn fritters. (we called patties). I will sign up to follow. Stop by sometime..I'd love to see you. Have a wonderful day...
I wonder how this tastes, Coralie. I love spice cake but that seems like so much molasses in relation to other ingredients in the cake. I suspect the recipe is excellent or it wouldn't have withstood the test of time. I'm just curious.

Such a silly name for a cake, but it's got molasses in it, and cinnamon and clove, so I know it's going to be good! So simple too. Thanks Coralie! Hope your day is a good one! Carol
Carol! Always love your comments! I agree it is a kind of "silly" name for this cake! Another interesting retro sign of those times I think! Have a great day!
This reminds me a little of the steamed pudding my great-great-grandfather's sister-in-law passed down through the family. I still make the recipe now!
As a lover of all things vintage, I write about our cottage home, inspirational decorating, vintage finds, thrifty buys, and old-time recipes. I have many additional interests such as reading, writing, blogging, arts and crafts, and quilting...I write about these interests as well as about family, friends, shelties, nature and hobbies.
These old recipes are great. I wouldn't mind trying this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, NM.
I wonder if this is like those pudding cakes, that end up with the pudding layer on the bottom.
