Mama’s Spice Cake
Whenever I get a craving for a tasty old-fashioned treat, I make this cake. Great cooks in my family have been baking it for generations, and their families have been enjoying the wonderful spice flavor and rich frosting.

I haven't made this yet, asking Margaret, Did you use egge whites or egg yolks?
Beating the eggwhites made a lighter texture and higher layers. no raisins so substituted chopped dates. Make sure you shake the dates or raisins in floeur before adding to batter, they won't sink to the bottom.

Very good cake, although I didn't separate the eggs and I also omitted the raisins and nuts. Not overly sweet, smells and tastes great!
I omitted the raisins and pecans and used this delicious cake in a pumpkin trifle that called for gingerbread. It was tender, moist and very simiple to make.
