I hadn't noticed this golden oldie from Effie Johnson of Kansas when I was a kid. It's kind of interesting. Some of the directions are written in the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter beat well together
add 1/2 tsp soda, dissolved in
1/2 cup sweet milk
1tsp cream of tartar, sifted with 2 cups flour
Directions:
1. Mix, divide batter
2. to1/2 add 2 Tbl molasses, 1 cup raisins, 1/4 tsp cloves,cinnamon and nutmeg,
3. Put the dark part in a loaf tin and bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven-then very carefully pour light part over dark and bake 20 minutes more.
4. I guess they probably prepared the pan and were using around a 350 oven
