How to Make Simple Old Fashion Cakes like Grandma used to Make

There are just times when it seems going back to Grandma's recipes seems
the thing to do. Times were simple, work was hard, kids played hard--no
TV to watch, and the desserts were simple but very good and satisfying.
Let these cakes take you back to those simpler times. Peanut Cake is so
simple even beginning bakers can easily make it. This is also true of the
Boiled Spice Cake and the Walnut Bundt Cake!


SALTED PEANUT CAKE

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup lard**
1 egg
1 cup sour milk*
1 tsp soda
1 cup ground salted peanuts
1 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients together in the order listed. Grease and flour a 9 x
13-inch pan. Pour batter into pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

*buttermilk **you can replace lard with shortening or butter


BOILED SPICE CAKE

2 cups water
3/4 cup cooking oil
2 cups raisins
2 cups sugar
2 tsps cinnamon
2 tsps nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a 2-qt saucepan, bring the water, cooking oil, raisins, sugar,
cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to a boil. Boil mixture for 10 minutes then
allow to cool. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, eggs, and salt.
Mix the batter well and pour into a well greased and floured 13 x 9-inch
baking pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes until the cake tests done.

WALNUT BUNDT CAKE

1 cup soft shortening
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs, unbeaten
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1 1/2 tsps salt
2 tsps vanilla extract
1 cup very finely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Into a large bowl sift flour with sugar, baking powder and salt. Drop in
shortening and 2 eggs; pour in milk and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes at medium
speed. Add 2 eggs, beat as before. Fold in nuts. Turn into greased Bundt
pan or tube pan. Bake 1 hour. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before removing from
pan. Cool. Make a glaze by combining 2 tablespoons light corn syrup and 2
teaspoons butter or margarine in a small saucepan. Boil 3 minutes but no
longer. Place walnut halves or pieces on top of cake, if desired. Pour the
boiled glaze over the top allowing to run down the sides. Note: This cake
freezes well.

Enjoy!
