Candlebuddy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I have a recipe to make primitive cakes, but there's no molasses in it ... I'd be happy to share ...1 cup flour1/2 cup salt1 cup used coffee grounds1/2 cup cold coffee (or water)Combine the above ingredients and knead together to make dough. Then, press into the bottom of your mold (which will be the top of the finished cake) and around the sides. Fill the cavity with aluminum foil. Then take some dough and cover the top of the mold (which will be the bottom of the finished cake). Bake for several hours at 200 degrees. After de-molding the cake, if it still seems moist, place cake right-side up on cookie sheet and bake until completely dry. To decorate ... I usually mix a little white glue with white craft paint and drizzle it on the cake, then I put on some raisin and/or nut embeds, and then sprinkle with cinnamon or ground cloves. You can really get creative with decorating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
