Recipe Introduction


This was traditionally washed down with rum after militia training.



List of Ingredients




1/3 Cup Lard
1/2 Cup Brown sugar
1/2 Cup Molasses
1 Egg
2 Cup Flour; all-purpose
1 Tsp Baking soda
3/4 Tsp Ground ginger
3/4 Tsp Ground cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Ground cloves
1/4 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Water; boiling



Recipe



Cream the lard and sugar until light (don't skimp on this step). Add the molasses and egg, beating well. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, soda, spices and salt. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with the boiling water, beating after each addition. Bake in a greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pan at 350 F for about 50 minutes. Cool a few minutes before removing from the pan, and wrap.

This cake mellows and tastes best the next day.
