This as from Jan, [email protected], on the Stewart County List. Today: Prince of Wales Cake My aunts ages 78-89 all tell me their mama, Minnie, fixed this every Christmas. She cooked on a wood stove so forget temps...not mentioned. Prince of Wales Cake Dark part: 2 c. brown sugar 1 c. butter 1 c. sour milk 3 c. flour 2 c. chopped raisins 1 t. soda Disolved in a little warm water 2 T molasses 2 T cinnamon 2 T nutmeg 2 T cloves yolks of six eggs White part: 2 c. white sugar 1 c. butter 1 t. baking powder 3 c. flour 1 c. sweet milk whites of six eggs Bake in jelly tins and put together with boiled icing. Boiled icing: 2 1/3 c and 1/2 of sugar boiled to a thick syrup. Put just enough water to dissolve sugar. Beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth. Pour the syrup over them slowly. When cold put between cake. About "Minnie's Book": My grandmother, Minnie Fitzhugh Dennis 1889-1947 of Stewart County, had a "recipe book" in which are recipes as well as notes on her "egg sales" dating from 1911 up until not long before she died. I was privileged to examine this book and to copy much from it, as my aunt pulled it out along with other family keepsakes to show to me that I might know what she had and what the importance of some of the things she had kept were that I might not otherwise have understood the significance of. Naturally my grandmother's book was an easy one to see the beauty of.... I will be sharing some things "From Minnie's Book" along with you. -jan Timothy C.
