An old-fashioned cake recipe from my Great Grandmother's era, using simple pantry staples. Get ready to delight in a truly nostalgic and delicious treat.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups strong brewed coffee
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you generously grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside for later use.
  • Combine the coffee, sugar, butter, raisins, allspice, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then let it cool to room temperature after removing from heat.
  • Mix in the flour mixture until fully incorporated, then transfer the batter into a 9x13 inch pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
