1915 Pork Cake Recipe And Taste Test
Welcome Friends! Welcome back to Sunday morning and the Old Cook Book Show, we're going to do another recipe out of the 1915 version of the Five Roses Flour Cookbook. A little bit of weirdness today in this cookbook there are a number of dessert recipes, cake recipes, pie recipes, tart recipes, that include meat. There's more than one cake in this book that includes pork so I thought I would do one of these pork cakes. Now this turned out to be a great tasting almost fruit cake recipe, or almost Christmas cake recipe, It's certainly a pork spice cake recipe - very warming and delicious.
