This one is a mystery. I have no idea where it came from and I don't recognize the hand writing. The yellowed index card says "over 100 years old," so it's probably pretty old.*
*Mystery solved - this was given to my Aunt Sue in California from a lady in her church in the 1970's. So it is quite old.
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. butter
Mix well (i.e. cream)
Add 3 eggs one at a time, then add 1/2 c. buttermilk
Sift together:
2 c. sifted cake flour
1 t soda (baking soda)
1 t cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
1 t allspice
Mix in with the liquid (fold in and beat until light) and bake at 350 in 9" (greased) pans until done, about 25-30 minutes.
Sauce:
1 c. sugar
2 eggs beaten
1/2 c. sour cream
Mix well. Add 2 T of butter and cook 5 minutes until slightly thick, then cool. Fill the layers of the cake, then spoon the remaining sauce over cake and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
