Ginger Layer Cake Recipe

Two cups of flour, one cup of Porto Rico molasses, one cup of milk, the

third of a cup of butter, one egg, one slightly heaping teaspoonful of

soda sifted with the flour, one heaping teaspoonful of ginger, one cup

of currants. Beat the egg a little, add the molasses with the butter

melted and stirred into it, then the currants, about half the milk, all

of the flour, beat well and add the rest of the milk. Bake in two cakes

in a quick oven from twelve to fifteen minutes. Use the chocolate

filling, given for chocolate layer cake, and ice the top and the sides

with the same.
