Our family loves desserts but we try to cut down on eating sugar. Here is another recipe from Rita's cookbook-- "The Able Cookbook: Cooking without Cane." You may substitute artificial sweeteners for the honey.
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup honey
3 eggs separated
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup milk
Cream shortening and honey until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks and beat well. Ann wine, molasses and vanilla, mix well. Sift dry ingredients; add alternately with milk to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into mixture. Spoon into 2 greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on rack.
Fill and frost with butter cream frosting to which has been added 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans.
Ecclesiastes 8: 15 And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
