NUTMEG POUND CAKE

This spicy pound cake has a mocha center that just naturally occurs when you
pour the cocoa portion of the cake mixture over the light batter. For a more
attractive presentation, use a fancy tube-type pan with an 8 to 10 cup capacity.
For 1 cake you will need: 2 tbsp. dark cocoa
1/2 tsp. instant coffee powder
1/8 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. hot water
3/4 c. butter or margarine, room
temperature
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. milk
TIPS: Butter and eggs must be at room temperature or creamed mixture will not
turn out light and fluffy. If mixture is cold and "curdled" in appearance,
place bowl over warm water for a few minutes, then proceed beating until fluffy.
In small bowl mix cocoa, coffee powder, baking soda and hot water to make a
paste. Set side. In large mixing bowl, cream butter with sugar until smooth.
Beat in eggs until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and
cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and
ending with flour. Beat until smooth. Pour 3/4 of the mixture into a wellbuttered,
tube-type pan of 8 to 10 cups capacity. Smooth out white batter in
pan. Stir reserved cocoa mixture into remaining batter and pour over top. Bake
at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center
comes out clean.

SPICED RAISIN POUND CAKE

Use your most attractive tube-type cake pan for this old-fashioned delicious
cake. Cardamom, nutmeg and raisins give the cake its character. To further
enhance the flavors, you may coat the greased mold with ground almonds or
filberts. For 1 (8 to 10 inch) ring cake you will need: 1 c. butter or
margarine
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. muscat raisins or regular dark
raisins
1 c. buttermilk
TIPS: For variation, add 1 tablespoon grated orange rind instead of cardamom
and nutmeg to the cake. Or, if desired, substitute chopped dates for the
raisins. Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
Stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom and nutmeg. Sprinkle
1 tablespoon of the flour mixture over the raisins, mixing well; set aside. Add
flour mixture alternately with buttermilk to butter and sugar mixture. Beat
until fluffy. Stir in raisins and mix until evenly blended. Turn into a 6-cup
capacity well-greased tube cake pan, 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Bake at 350
degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until the center of the cake tests done. Good
served with: Coffee for dessert. Top with spiced whipped cream, if desired,
made by combining 1 cup whipped cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1
teaspoon cinnamon.

served while still hot. Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs and beat
until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to
creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Mix until batter is smooth. Stir in
the raisins. Cut pineapple into 1/2 inch pieces and add to the batter. Turn
into a well-buttered and floured 6 cup fancy cake or ring mold. Bake at 350
