GRANDMA ADELINE'S 1940'S WAR CAKE
This was the recipe my grandmother made at Christmas during WWII when supplies were rationed and not available for regular types of fruitcakes. It has been passed down and still made each year. This year, it seems especially appropriate.

This eggless cake was developed by resourceful cooks during the war when eggs, butter, and milk were rationed. It is a traditional Christmas cake here on the East Coast of Canada. Served with a nice big hunk of Cheddar cheese and a hot cup of tea, it is a real holiday treat!
