Railroad Cake Recipe


Railroad Cake Recipe
According to my Mom's cookbook this is a 150 year old recipe. I'm guessing an 8' square pan to bake it in. Thought it might be interesting to some of you. No detailed directions were with it, I guess you're just supposed to know.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First time I have ever made a cake from scratch. Didn't have anything for frosting but is nice and moist.


Very interesting recipe! Thank you so much for sharing, Pat. I love the old recipes...


I forgot to tell you, since I never have shortening I used 3 tbls. of unsalted butter.


Ya gotta love these old handed-down family recipes! My Mom has a bunch of them too, from her Mom, and HER Mom. None of them come with instructions! Great post, Pat2Me :)
