Poor Man's Cake – Hard Times Recipe Poor Man's Cake – No Eggs, No Butter, No Milk. This recipe was born in terribly hard times. It is a struggle food masterpiece. It has its own unique taste and texture. The closest thing I can compare it to is raisin bread, but not really. This is a recipe that you really must try.

I love the basic recipe with nothing added. The cream cheese frosting makes it much richer and sweeter. The chopped nuts really add a nice flavor, and the cranberries change both the flavor and texture. The muffins have a slightly different texture and make an excellent breakfast muffin. This would be the perfect end to a Sunday dinner. If you are looking for something different to take to your next church dinner or potluck you have found it.

Remember to put God first!
