1 cup milk
1/3 cup raisins, seeded and cut in pieces
31/2 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup figs, finely chopped

1 tablespoon molasses
Mix first seven ingredients in order given. Bake two-thirds of the mixture in two layer-cake pans. To the remainder add spices, fruit, and molasses, and bake in a layer-cake pan. Put layers together with jelly (apple usually being preferred, as it has less flavor), having the dark layer in the centre.
