Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2-1/2 cups cake flour
  • 2-1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • frosting:
  • 2 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • cookie cutters-3 inch horse and 3-1/2-inch sleigh, optional
  • edible glitter

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, milk and molasses; mix well. Combine the dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour 1-3/4 cups into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan; pour remaining batter into a greased 9-in. round baking pan.
  2. Bake at 375°for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  3. For frosting, in a bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese. Add confectioners' sugar; beat for 5 minutes or until very smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Place 1 cup in another bowl; tint with brown food coloring. Place 1/4 cup each in three bowls; tint one green, one red and one blue. Leave the remaining frosting white.
  4. Place loaf cake on a work surface with a long side facing you. To make globe base, measure 2 in. in from top right corner; cut at an angle from that point to the lower right corner. Repeat on other side. (Save cut out cake wedges for another use.) Place base on a 14-in. x 10-in. covered board; frost top and sides brown.
  5. Place round cake above base; frost top and sides white. Gently press cookie cutters into cake to outline horse and sleigh, or outline them free hand. Frost horse brown. Place red frosting in a pastry or plastic bag; cut a hole in the corner. Pipe outline of sleigh and three horizontal strips on the sleigh. Pipe a rein from horse to sleigh.
  6. Make pine trees with green frosting. Using a toothpick and white frosting, add white streaks in the trees for snow.
  7. Frost the bottom third of round cake blue. Transfer remaining blue frosting to a pastry or plastic bag; cut a hole in the corner. Pipe snowflakes in sky. Sprinkle round cake with edible glitter. Yield: 6-12 servings.
