New England Salt Pork Cake

Sift together first six ingredients (flour through cloves), or if using pre-sifted flour you can just combine them.

Combine salt pork through sugar, then add in the flour mixture, then stir in raisins and orange peel.

Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan and cook about 50 minutes at 350F until a knife or toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Let sit 10 minutes, then turn out on a cake rack to cool.

Pour port or sherry over cake, wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Cake keeps well in the refrigerator.
