A cake handed down from my Great Grandmother when they didn't have much to use in their mixes. Prepare to enjoy the most wonderful thing you ever laid a lip on.
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large saucepan combine the coffee, sugar, butter, raisins, allspice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Stir in flour mixture until well combined. Pour into a 9x13 inch pan. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.
