A Recipe from Sierra

Sierra is reading "The Winter of Red Snow", about a girls life during the Revolutionary War.  She looked up from her reading and said "Hey mom, there's a cake recipe in this book that we can make.  Like in Mary Frances.  Can we make it?

Below is the recipe for your perusal.

40 eggs

4 lbs butter

4 lbs sugar, powdered

5 lbs flour

5 lbs fruit

mace & nutmeg

wine & some fresh brandy

Mix it all together and cook it.

Let me know how it turns out

That's my favorite kind of cake! Will you please make it for my birthday?
*whispers with Sierra*
By the way, where DO you get 40 eggs at one time?
Let me go get my apron on! :D
Love ya!

P.S. Remember, Sierra and I used to make cakes out of a.) barley (translation: dog food) and b.) bananas (translation: dog food). So in case you were wondering if our imaginations were fit to this baking task, worry no more. :D
