it may remind you of your childhood. The orange slices add a colorful touch
to the finished cake. (By Times Food Stylists) Soak raisins in hot water to
cover until plump. Drain. Sift together flour, soda, nutmeg, cinnamon,
allspice, cloves, and salt into large bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Beat egg
whites lightly in another bowl. Stir into dry ingredients along with
