Take four pounds of brisket, season with salt, pepper and ginger, add three tablespoons of tomatoes and an onion cut up. Cover with water in an iron pot and a close-fitting cover, put in oven and bake from three to four hours.
This spice cake is economical, easy to make and delicious, three qualities which must appeal to the housewife. Cream one cup of brown sugar and one-half cup of butter (or a little less of any butter substitute). Add one-half teaspoon of ground cloves and ground cinnamon, one cup of sour milk; one teaspoon of baking- soda, two cups of flour and one cup of raisins chopped. Have ready a warm oven and bake three-quarters of an hour.
