Old Fashioned Harrison Cake image

Spicy and sweet. Many times, these older cake recipes are meant to be eaten with a dessert sauce such as Recipe #315451, Recipe #315928 or Recipe #113691 (or the sauce of your choice). Premium vanilla ice cream is also wonderful! This cake comes from the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
