To Make Spice Cake.

Spice cake which keeps well may be made as follows: Cream one cupful of sugar and one cupful of butter (or one cupful of butter and lard mixed), add one cupful of strong coffee, two lightly beaten eggs, one and one-half teaspoonfuls soda dissolved in a tablespoonful boiling water; one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves, allspice and one-half of a nutmeg (grated), one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-fourth pound raisins or currants and two and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted twice. Stir well and bake three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven.
