This recipe comes from Mrs. E. Haskell. It in her book "The Housekeeper's Assistant" published in 1861. This is true Thanksgiving recipe.
Thanksgiving Cake
"Six pounds of butter, six pounds of sugar, worked together. Twelve eggs well beaten. three quarts of sweet milk, twelve pounds of flour, mace, cinnamon, raisins and one quart of hop yeast, good and fresh. Let it rise once before putting in the pans. If fruit settles. stir it up before pouring in pans. This is an old New England recipe."
This makes a lot.
