poor man's cake

This time of the year, I start to really crave foods that I grew up with. Comfort foods. I am not saying we were "Poor" but year, we were.  This cake was around when My mom was growing up and on their table often. Usually in early spring, before the cows were fresh and eggs were scarce. No frosting needed but if you really want to fancy it up, dust some powdered sugar on top.  Mom would make a caramel  7 minute frosting for it, because she loved it more than the cake needed any more sweet added to it.

Poor man cake

1/2 C Lard

2 C Sugar

2 1/2 C Flour

1/2 c Cocoa

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 tsp Vanilla

1 C Hot Water

1 Tbls Vinegar

Cream Sugar and lard. Sift together flour, Cocoa and Baking Soda combine vinegar, water and vanilla.

Add each in parts to the creamed sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes.

From my childhood. Love this cake, it is a heavy cake. We never gav mom a chance to ice it, but any icing will work on it...

Thanksgiving Poem

A Thanksgiving Poem:

May your stuffing be tasty,

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

and your pies take the prize,

and may your

Thanksgiving dinner

stay off your thighs!

(Unknown who wrote that but I thought it was funny)

Have a safe holiday folks!
