This is not my grandmother's recipe, but it is as close as I have found to hers. Her recipe was not saved by anyone and wasn't among the few handwritten recipes of hers that I managed to get. This is adapted from The Farm Journal. I have cut the recipe in half and baked in an 8-inch square pan. Just use the whole egg, but cut...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 c unsalted butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 c sour milk (see note)
1 c chopped walnuts
1 c raisins (optional)
confectioners' sugar, for dusting top

Steps:

  • 1. NOTE: To make sour milk, measure out 1 cup milk and let get to room temperature. Add 1 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice and stir. The milk will "curdle" and is ready to use. I have just used buttermilk instead.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 13 X 9 X 2-inch oblong baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 3. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt and spices together and set aside.
  • 4. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Beat in the egg.
  • 5. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour milk, beating well after each addition, using an electric mixer set at low speed. Stir in the walnuts and raisins.
  • 6. Spread the batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
  • 7. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack. To serve, sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar and cut into squares.
