Personal
Notes: This recipe was from my Aunt Rachel, one of my dad's sisters. My mother copied this recipe and made some errors. She wrote 3 tsp. salt which is way too much so I cut it to 1/3 teaspoon. For the icing she wrote 1/2 cup butter Crisco mixed. I used 1/2 cup butter only.
Because of the errors I shouldn't include this but it is the best spice cake I have ever eaten.
