War Cake - WWII recipe
#22
I couldn't resist and made this cake yesterday. I really like it. I put 2 tbls. butter in place of the lard. It reminds me of date nut bread and it's amazingly easy to make.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I printed out the original recipe for the authentic "old" look.

Looking at your aunts handwritten recipe brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. The beautiful cursive handwriting looks just like my grandmother's (who died before I was born). I have her handwritten recipe for War Cake, which is nearly identical to yours except white rather than brown sugar. I have made it many times and my family loves it. Thanks for the memory jog.
