Boiled Cake
McLaughlin Hunting Cake
1 Hour 350 deg.
Mix in a 3-quart saucepan:
2 Cups Water
2 Cups Sugar
1 # Raisins
1 t Salt
2 t Ground Cinnamon
2 t Ground Clove
½ Cup Shortening
Boil 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Add:
1 15 oz can of Pumpkin
2 t Baking Soda (High Altitude 5-6,000 ft 1 1/4 t Baking Soda plus 2 1/2 T flour)
Then stir in:
3 Cups Flour
1 Cup Pecans (optional)
Mix well, pour into a well greased bunt pan or tube pan. Bake at 350 deg for 1 hour.
Note: Must be mixed by hand as the batter is VERY heavy. When the cake is done it is VERY heavy. I only bake this when we go hunting. It seems to keep forever and has not needed refrigeration that I know of. But then it doesn't seem to last long enough to find out.
