At a used book sale, I found a jewel -- the "Holy Redeemer's Mothers' Club Kitchen Kapers". It's hard to tell when these yellowed pages where actually printed. The local ads inside have a combination of 7 digit phone numbers and the old telephone exchange numbers.
Having carrots on hand, I figured I've give this carrot cake recipe a try. This recipe was submitted by Mrs. Helen Genuser. The resulting loaf was a dark, flavorful cake; the nutmeg/allspice/cloves providing a definite bite.

As I ponder further about this loaf, I think when I try this recipe again I may half the cloves. I think it was a tad too dominate of a flavor.
