This is from an old PTA cookbook from my town. The man who submitted the recipe had a local restrauant for years. Don't be scared off the pepper, this cake just has a strong spice taste, something like licorice. I bake in a bundt pan, but this be made in loaf pans I guess. This cake was somewhat dry when I first made it but the flavor and the moistness improve over time. Ingredients:
3/4 cup margarine |
3/4 cup dark brown sugar |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3 eggs |
2 1/4 cups flour, sifted |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda (put in buttermilk) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cream margarine until it resembles whipped cream.
2. Add brown sugar and stir. Add white sugar and vailla. Beat well.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beat after each.
4. Sift together dry ingredients. Add to mixture, alternating with buttermilk (put soda in buttermilk).
5. Beat well and pour into greased and floured pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Bundt pans take about 40 minutes.
6. If loaf pan us used,and can be, bake for 45 to 60 minutes at 325 degrees.
