An old Shaker recipe and family favorite. I use a plain white frosting. I also make this in a small sheet cake pan.
Clove Cake
2 eggs
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup butter
1 cup raisins
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix ingredients in order given. A teaspoon of vanilla may be added. Bake at 350* for 45 minutes.
The top should be lightly frosted.
