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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality raisins and unsalted butter for the best flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This easy raisin cake is a delicious and moist treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this cake is sure to become a favorite. Whether you enjoy it plain or with a dollop of frosting, this cake is sure to please everyone.
