RAISIN CAKE
My mom always made this cake at Christmas time. She would cut it in bar size pieces and put it with the Christmas cookies. It was always one of my favorites, and my dad's as well. Don't over bake and make sure you keep it in a air tight container until you are ready to eat. Measurements for the frosting are approximates. Only add enough water to make the glaze easily spreadable. These can be frozen for a couple weeks.
