Dark Spots
Yolks of three eggs, one cup molasses, one half cup of butter, two cups flour, one teaspoonful of soda, one-third cup of milk, and flavor with mixed spices. Nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. Butter well the tin and put in the pan alternate layers of light and dark spots, having the light mostly on top; then take a large spoon and stir around only once. This makes the spots more uniform; do this when in the pan to bake; do not stir from the bottom.
