Hi All:
I just made up my grandmother's recipe for a Reta cake. This was a very old recipe and many items had to be forgotten. This is made with 2 cups of all purpose flour. 2 tsp of cream of tartar. 1 tsp of soda dissolved in hot water. no idea on how much. 1 cup of milk 1/2 cup of shortening. and 1 egg. I made this a little while ago. I added some vanilla, and cinnamon but it tastes pretty boring. I thought of adding some almond extract and perhaps some nutmeg. This recipe is over 100 years old so help with this is needed.
Please don't ask me how to mix this I had to figure that one out myself
