We jokingly called this "20 lb. cake" when we were younger, because it is rather "heavy". However, the taste is excellent.

How To Make raisin cake
-
1Boil raisins (we have used Muscat Raisins, but they are no longer available. So, any large sticky raisins should be okay) in 1½ cups of the water for 7 minutes, set aside to cool to lukewarm.
-
2Cream sugar and shortening together in a large bowl.
-
3Add remaining dry ingredients, mix well.
-
4Add raisins and water, put remaining ½ cup water in pan to rinse and also put into batter. Mix well.
-
5Pour into a greased and floured pan (usually about a 9X13). Bake at 375º for about 45 minutes or until a straw or toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
-
6Cool. Frost if desired. My sister and I like it with butter cream frosting.
