In my Grandma's homemade cookbook, above this recipe is written, "Variety is the very spice of life, and gives it all its flavor."

Spice Cake

1/2 cup shortening

2 cups brown sugar

3 eggs

1 cup sour milk

1 teaspoon soda

1/4 teaspoon of each -- cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon

2 cups cake flour

Mix sugar and shortening until it is foamy, then yolks.  Beat whites to a froth then beat them in.  Add sour milk, soda, flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder sifted with the flour.

There are no baking instructions, so I'm guessing it's 350 for 25 minutes or done, like most cakes.  Enjoy!
