Ribbon Fig Cake

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cupful of butter
  • 2 cupfuls sugar
  • 1 cupful of milk
  • 3 cupfuls flour
  • whites of 6 eggs, or if not too particular, 3 whole eggs may be used instead
  • 3 teaspoonfuls baking powder sifted with the flour

Directions

Divide the batter. To one-half add 1 1/2 cupfuls chopped figs, and bake in two jelly cake tins. To the other half add:

  • 2 tablespoonfuls molasses
  • 1 teaspoonful cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoonful nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoonful allspice
  • 1 cupful raisins chopped

Bake in two jelly cake tins. Put together in alternate layers of light and dark, using plain frosting. Almond Frosting is a very great addition.
