It is that time of year when Fruit Cake is given as a gift. The Fruit Cake recipe below was found in Frances Dollaway's recipe book. I am not sure who Mrs. Rogers is, but Frances Dollaway had a son Roy, who married Agnes Rogers. There may be a connection there.
There aren't any directions with this recipe, but if I was making it I would cream the sugar, molasses and shortening, add the eggs and buttermilk, add raisins, spices and soda. I wonder if this is all the ingredients or if she added flour. I don't know what would soak up the buttermilk. I think there must have been flour. What do you think? I like how it calls for spices. What spices? Cinnamon and cloves maybe.
