This recipe if from the l930's. My Grandmother gave it to my Mother and she gave it to me. Now I am a grandmother and passed it down to my kids. It's really good. You don't have to dirty your mixer for this one, just a big bowl. Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 cups raisins |
2 cups water |
3/4 cup shortening |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
2. In a saucepan mix brown sugar, raisins, water and shortening. Bring to a boil and boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. When raisin mixture is cool, add to dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 or 40 minutes. Do not over bake or it will be too dry. Test after 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of cake should come out clean.
