This y’all is one old recipe. I had never heard of sausage cake, nor had my mom, but here it is. Oh, and this is not a breakfast bar type cake either. She got this recipe from a family friend who had made it all her life. It is an amazing cake and I tell you what, it does taste a lot better than you would think. You all have to give this a try.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound plain mild sausage
- 1 pound light brown sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup English Walnuts (chopped)
- maraschino cherries (optional
- First boil the raisins in just over a 1 cup of water till plumped up.
- Drain the raisins and set aside 1 cup of the raisin water to cool.
- Mix sausage and sugar thoroughly.
- Add the baking soda very slowly to the cooled raisin juice.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and spices together.
- Add liquids and flour alternately to sausage mixture.
- Roll the raisins in a bit of flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
- Add the raisins and nuts to the mixture and stir well.
- Decorate with maraschino cherries if you like
- Pour into and bake in a tube or loaf pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes @350°F
- Let cool 15-20 minutes before cutting.
