This vintage recipe was clipped from a newspaper and found in a large collection, date unknown but I’d guess from 1930’s to 1940’s. I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

Spice Cake Supreme

Sift 2 cups sifted flour, 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder, 1-2 teaspoonful salt, 1 teaspoonful cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoonful nutmeg and 1-2 teaspoonful ground allspice together three times. Cream together 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, and 1-2 cup shortening. Add to dry ingredients alternately with 3-4 cup milk into which has been placed 1 teaspoonful vanilla. Turn into a greased 9 by 9 pan.

For the topping roll enough graham crackers fine to make 1-2 cup. Combine with 1 tablespoonful sugar, 1-4 teaspoonful cinnamon and 2 tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Sprinkle over cake. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.
