BOILED RAISIN CAKE



Boiled Raisin Cake image

This recipe was in a box of loose recipes I'd cut out of magazines and newspapers. I'm posting it here so it won't get lost. See NOTE at bottom of recipe if you don't have pastry flour. UPDATE-- Made this today. It didn't rise much, maybe it's not supposed too. I did use pastry flour. The flavor is wonderful. I dropped the salt down to 1/2 teaspoon, and used butter instead of shortening. There's less than 1/2 left it was so tasty.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups raisins
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • In saucepan. place raisins, brown sugar, hot water, shortening, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Bring mixture to boiling point, cover and let simmer for 6 minutes.
  • Cool to lukewarm and add vanilla.
  • Add soda to flour and mix.
  • Combine flour and raisin mixture well.
  • Bake in buttered 9X5" loaf pan in 325° oven for 1-1 1/4 hours. Cool in pan.
  • This cake improves with keeping.
  • -------------------------------------.
  • NOTE--It can be a challenge to find pastry flour. Even well-stocked supermarkets seldom carry more varieties than cake flour, all-purpose flour (9% to 12% protein), and bread flour. If you can't find pastry flour, you can mix your own by combining cake flour and all-purpose flour in a ratio somewhere between two parts cake flour to one part all-purpose and one part cake flour to one part all-purpose.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raisins. Fresh raisins will give your sheet cake the best 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.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use your favorite frosting. You can use any type of frosting you like on this cake. Some popular options include cream cheese frosting, chocolate frosting, and vanilla frosting.

Conclusion:

Boiled raisin sheet cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and chewy raisins, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious dessert, give boiled raisin sheet cake a try.
