OLD-FASHIONED PORK CAKE



Old-Fashioned Pork Cake image

This recipe is one that my Grandma Lewis would make when she had the ingredients on hand -- because the family lived deep in the mountains of West Virginia a quick trip to the store was not feasible especially during the winters months. My grandma was a terrific cook and never measured ingredients (old school of little bit of this, little bit of that) but it didn't matter because whatever she cooked always tasted good and filled you up! This recipe is one of my dad's favorites and I hope you like it, too!

This is a sweet meat cake from Gramma Stevens' ziplock recipe bag. It's so unique, it makes you wonder what people were thinking 150 years ago. And... could it possibly contain raisins? Why, yes it does. As with all gramma's recipes, I keep them original and the directions are as is. Good Luck and Enjoy ~
