Well, I'd sure like to "watch" this thread w/o having to post to it -- but no such simple thing as "watch" to click on
anymore! What the devil does 'subscribe' mean? Is it the same thing as the old "watch"? Tried 'subscribing' to two items but to no avail. New & Improved? NOT! (In fact, now editing this posting to say it took THREE tries to finally get it on here. Good grief!) |
ww11 and depression cake are one and the same.

Here's the recipe that I have:
Poor Man's Cake 2 cups water 1 cup raisins Cook together for a few minutes to plump raisins Save 3/4 cup of juice for dough Cream together: 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup butter or margarine Add 1 egg to creamed mix. Add reserved juice. Sift together: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 tsp. salt Add to creamed mixture. Stir in raisins. Bake in a 10" x 15" baking sheet at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Frosting 1 cup powdered sugarand enough orange juice to make spreadable. Spread on hot cake. I never made this cake. The recipe came from my aunt, who would have been 100 years old this year. |

Patience .... we've all had to practice a little of this as we learn and adapt to the changes. |

Mom always made Poor Man's Cake - named because it used no eggs or milk. Google that you will find several. My mom added gum drops to the recipe and it is our tradition at Christmas time.
