Here’s a nice recipe for a spice cake. I bet it’s good, and another non-chocolate alternative. If you remember from an earlier post, Mrs Fish was Gram’s mother’s good friend, and Gram sometimes called her Auntie Fish.

My guess for this recipe is to cream the butter and sugar, add the rest, bake in a 9×13 or loaf pan depending on how much batter, for between 30-45 minutes at 350. That seems to be the general instruction on cakes. You could sprinkle powdered sugar across the top if you like.

1/2 cup butter

little nutmeg

1 cup raisins
