Ingredients
-
2 cups raisins
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
smidgen each of cinnamon, cloves, mace, ginger, nutmeg
1 cup coffee (or one cup water and 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules) or substitutes as in description
1 egg
finely grated rind and juice of one orange
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups white flour (stir the flour in the canister, then spoon it into the measuring cup and level off, to ensure that you use the correct amount of flour - scooping will give too much)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Put the raisins, butter, sugar, spices and liquid into a medium sized saucepan, bring to the boil, and simmer for 6 minutes.
Allow to cool for an hour to room temperature, both to plump the raisins and because if you use the hot mixture, the cake will be dry.
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Using the saucepan as a mixing bowl, add the egg, orange rind and juice and the vanilla and mix well.
Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet, and stir in until just mixed.
Spoon into a greased, non-stick tube pan and bake at 350 F for 45 minutes. I always test with a skewer after 30 minutes.
Makes 16 servings and keeps well.
