HEIRLOOM SPICE CAKE (A SNACK CAKE)
This is not my grandmother's recipe, but it is as close as I have found to hers. Her recipe was not saved by anyone and wasn't among the few handwritten recipes of hers that I managed to get.

Steps:
- 1. NOTE: To make sour milk, measure out 1 cup milk and let get to room temperature. Add 1 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice and stir. The milk will "curdle" and is ready to use. I have just used buttermilk instead.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 13 X 9 X 2-inch oblong baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- 3. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt and spices together and set aside.
- 4. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Beat in the egg.
- 5. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour milk, beating well after each addition, using an electric mixer set at low speed. Stir in the walnuts and raisins.
- 6. Spread the batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
- 7. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack. To serve, sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar and cut into squares.
