Spice Cake with Raisin Sauce

CAKE:
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cups white sugar
3 eggs
3/4 cup sour milk (add a couple drops of vinegar to regular milk)
1 & 3/4 cup flour
3 tbsp molasses
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp soda.

Bake at 350 for approx 25 min.

FILLING:
mix with 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 cup raisins
1 tbsp flour
butter the size of an egg.

Boil until thick, and add 1 tsp vanilla.

My Aunt usually doubles the filling to ice the cake with. If you bake the cake in two layers, the cooking time is a bit less, and be sure to put filling in between the two layers of the cake. This was a favourite of my Dad and his twin brother for their birthday for many, many years...
