Hello Toby,
I cannot find a cake recipe with lots of black pepper that says it is
from "The Spice Cookbook". That recipe may be on the internet, but if it
is, is does not mention "The Spice Cookbook". In order to find the
correct recipe, I would need more information than the fact that it
contains a lot of black pepper.
Your best bet might be to get a copy of that cookbook. "The Spice Book"
by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey is available on Amazon.com. See:
*The Spice Book" by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey*

There is a "black pepper cake" recipe below.
Phaed
BLACK PEPPER CAKE
1 c. walnuts
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. brown sugar
3 eggs, separated
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. milk
Place nut meats in boiling water a few minutes, then drain. Cream
shortening and sugar, add well beaten egg yolks. Sift together dry
ingredients and add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Add nut
meats. Fold in well beaten egg whites. Bake in 3 layers at 350 degrees for
about 20 minutes.

Good Morning!
Thank you for your prompt answer! I am fairly sure that your black
pepper cake is the one I needed! I will check it out when I get my
Amazon copy of "The Spice Cookbook". I will use your version today
with a dear friend for our annual holiday cake baking day .
Thanks again. Your web site is superior!
