MARBLE CAKE #1
White part: Take the whites of 4 eggs, 1 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of sweet milk, 2 tablespoonfuls of baking powder, 1 teaspoonful of vanilla or lemon and 2 1/2 cups of sifted flour.
Dark part: Yolks of 4 eggs, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of cooking molasses, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of sour milk, 1 teaspoonful of ground cloves, 1 teaspoonful of cinnamon, 1 teaspoonful of mace, 1 grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoonful of soda (soda to be dissolved in a little milk and added after a part of the flour has been stirred in), and 1 1/2 cups of flour.
Drop a spoonful of each kind in a well-buttered cake dish, first the light part then the dark part, alternately.
