Time 50m

Yield 1 cake, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup raisins
2 cups water
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 10 x 10 inch baking pan.
  • In a large saucepan boil the raising with the water for 10 minutes. Add the butter or margarine and let cool.
  • In the same pan add the flour, soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped nuts (optional), mix well and pour batter into a lightly greased 10x10 inch baking pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Serves 8 to 12.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raisins: Fresh raisins are plump and juicy, which will give your cake a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh raisins, you can use dried raisins, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using to plump them up.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your cake light and airy. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps to dissolve the sugar, which will prevent your cake from being grainy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. If you add the eggs all at once, the batter may become thick and lumpy.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently: Overmixing the batter can toughen the cake. Fold the flour and baking powder in just until combined.
  • Bake the cake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Baking the cake at too high of a temperature can cause it to brown too quickly on the outside while the inside remains uncooked. Baking the cake at too low of a temperature can cause it to be dense and gummy.

Conclusion:

Raisin cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its moist, flavorful crumb and sweet, chewy raisins, raisin cake is a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a simple snack or a special dessert, raisin cake is sure to please.
