INSTRUCTIONS
This comes from the Wesley Cookbook (by Florence Cerda) Put brown sugar, water, raisins, shortening, nutmeg, cloves and salt in saucepan. Boil together 3 minutes, then cool. When cold, add soda-hot water mixture. Sift together flour and baking powder. Mix into batter. Bake in moderate oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Note: This was used in World Wars I and II. It was called the Less Cake. Posted to Bakery-Shoppe Digest V1 #196 by vergie1@juno.com (Vergie A Ewing) on Aug 18, 1997
