Amazin' Raisin Cake 1974 image

I used to make this wonderful spicy apple cake in the 70's but I had lost the recipe. For years I tried to remember the name of it and today is the day -- it was called "AMAZIN' RAISIN CAKE!

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
BEAT TOGETHER:
2 whole eggs

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before I needed it and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, but I really enjoyed this cake. The raisins were plump and juicy, and they added a nice sweetness to the cake.

I love that this cake is made with whole wheat flour. It makes it a bit healthier than traditional raisin cake.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was very disappointed.

This cake is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. The texture is a bit dense and the flavor is a bit bland. I think it needs more spices or something to give it more flavor.

This cake is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I love that it's not too sweet, and the raisins add a nice touch of flavor. I've also tried adding other dried fruits like cranberries or cherries, and they work well too.
