2/4th Cake Recipe
Today 15 April 2024, Tom Baynes, the great nephew of Tom Davidson WX7909 who died 1943 of illness at Kuii POW Camp, Thailand contacted us.
Did we know of the recipe for the 2/4th Cake?
Or had we known about it?
Was this recipe shared with the 2/4th mothers/wives & family social group who met regularly throughout the war?
Kim Baynes recalls his grandmother/ Tom’s mother Jennie and his mother Mary cooking this light fruit cake in a baking pan – large enough to provide a family with three children for a week.
This light fruit cake was spicy with cinnamon and had brown sugar sprinkled on top.
Can anybody recall the cake or the recipe?
It sounds like the cake cooked in numerous boarding houses and schools.
