My grandmother's recipe called for more spices (1t of Cinn - 1/2t of ground cloves - 1t of nutmeg). It was so delicious - a heavy cake, stick to your ribs. Mom put a heavy white frosting on it that was good - some sort of butter frosting - too sweet for me. Wonderful memories - we also used the canned tomatoes from our garden in it.
