Rose Bowles' Spice Cake

Aunt Be had this recipe in her own handwriting. It is incomplete, but it obviously had enough information for her experience to handle the rest. I decided not to try to embellish, but leave it to the reader to determine for themselves.

3/4 cup sugar

5 Tbsp margarine (now butter or shortening)

3 Tbsp molasses

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp nutmeg pinch allspice

1 3/4 cups flour

pinch salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp lemon extract

3/4 cup raisins

1 tsp vinegar

1 cup milk (put the vinegar in the milk to sour it.)

Bake in loaf pans. (350? til knife comes out clean)
