Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1917 — Spice Cakes With Chocolate Sauce. [ARTICLE]

Spice Cakes With Chocolate Sauce.

For the cakes, cream together two tablespoonfuls of shortening with half a cupful of brown sugar and add half a cupful of dark molasses, one teaspoonful each of ground ginger, cinnamon and grated nutmeg and half a teaspoonful of ground allspice. Mix well; add one teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in three-quarters of a cupful of thick, soured milk and sufficient sifted flour to form a good cake batter. It should “ribbon” from the spoon. Bake in well-greased cup cake pans in a moderate oven.
