Roaring Twenties Spice Cake
My grandmother developed this cake during World War I when eggs were in short supply, as well as being very expensive if you could find them.
This is not a sweet cake, and it is great for people who cannot eat eggs. It is also inexpensive to make.
As an added bonus, you can change the cake's taste a little by frosting it or pouring pudding over it.

I have been making this recipe for years, since seeing it originally in Reminisce. It makes a tasty, hearty cake that we have sometimes used as a breakfast item as well as dessert.I generally make a double batch for a 9x13, and sometimes use half whole wheat flour and half white flour. I also add small amounts of allspice and ginger (1/4 tsp each).
I had always wanted to try a spice cake recipe. This one was great! I did not try the nutmeg sauce though. You can also add a dash of allspice. When I made this recipe, I added one cup chocolate chips after mixing. The mixture was still warm so the chocolate chips ended up melting! I had not thought of this possibility when I did it! However, it tasted delicious. A chocolate spice cake really does taste good. Try it!
