Clean and grease or "season" pans well

Recipe For One Cake

1-1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour milk
1 tsp soda
a little salt
2-1/2 cups flour
1 cup nuts
1 tsp cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg
1 cup raisins
1 tsp baking powder
1 skewer and 2 toothpicks

Cream sugar, butter and eggs, add milk, soda, flour, salt and spices. Mix well without beating. Fill face and ears of mould (these must not have nuts or raisins in them).
Add nuts and raisins chopped fine and floured, and the baking powder.
Fill pan level, place a toothpick in each ear and the skewer in the neck.
Fit upper pan on and bake in moderate oven for one hour or more, or until upper pan comes off easily. Let cool in lower pan.

Icing

1-1/2 cups white sugar
2/3 cup water
whites of two eggs
flavoring
1/4 lb. shredded cocoanut

Boil sugar and water until it threads. Beat whites of two eggs stiff, pour syrup over eggs, beat until cool. Ice cake all over and throw on the cocoanut. Use raisins for the eyes and a piece of candied cherry or raisin for the mouth.
