Old Fashioned Spice Cake
Believe it or not, this recipe is from my High School Home Economics class. I think I have made this recipe almost every year since then and may still have my original Recipe Book we made in class packed away somewhere.

Measure into a mixing bowl:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Allspice
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup dark molasses
Stir in:
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
Mix until the batter is smooth and pour into a greased 8" x 8" square or round cake pan.
Bake @375F for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
