WAR CAKE

2 c. hot water
2 tsp. lard
1 pkg. raisins
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon

Boil these for 5 minutes after they begin to bubble. When cold, add:
1 tsp. soda dissolved in hot water

Bake in 2 loaves, 45 minutes in a slow oven. This cake improves by keeping. During the war this recipe was not given away, but sold for 10 cents to benefit the Red Cross.

Is there a flour ingredient in this recipe?

No. Flour was scarce during the War. Odd isn't it?
