Pour half a pint of boiling water on one pound of pork [salt] chopped fine; add two cups of brown sugar, one of molasses, and seven of flour, one pound of raisins, and one teaspoonful of powdered cloves. Bake slowly. Pork Cake.
Most people, when hearing the phrase “Pork Cake,” think of something horrifying, perhaps gelatinous, and definitely inedible. I expected an odd sort of fruit cake — with pork in it — perhaps originally intended to preserve excess ham.
After the fat was already in the cake! The cake baked for 4 hours (!) at 250 degrees. And baked up pretty well. The outside was freakishly crispy, and the smell of pork wasn’t completely drowned out by molasses, but overall it wasn’t too bad.
Put pork and raisins in a large mixing bowl (6qt.+) and pour hot coffee over them; Set aside allowing some time to cool. Sift together all measured dry ingredients; Mix in walnuts. Stir pork mixture carefully in case the coffee is still hot. Slowly begin to add sifted dry ingredients with walnuts and combine together thoroughly.
