3
Cupfuls of dried apples
3
cups of molasses
3
cupfuls of flour
3
eggs
1
cupful of butter
1
teaspoonful soda
1
cupful of seedless raisins - optional
Add
spices if necessary
Soak dried apples
over night in cold water enough to swell them; chop them in the morning and put
them on the fire with three cups of molasses; stew until almost soft; add a
cupful of nice seedless raisins (if possible) and stew a few moments; when
cold, add three cupfuls of flour, one cupful of butter, three eggs and a
teaspoonful of soda; bake in a steady oven. This will make two good-sized
panfuls of splendid cake; the apples will cook like citron and taste
deliciously. Raisins may be omitted; also spices to taste may be added.
