Sift together the flour, salt, spices and stir into batter.
Now, stir the baking soda into the boiling water then stir into the batter. The mixture will be thin. Pour all ingredients into a well greased 10 x 14 in pan or 11 x 16 in pan.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until done - test with a toothpick for doneness. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or cool whip not included in the nutritional info. Or you can use a penuche frosting since the cake isn't super sweet.
