Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 box brown sugar
  • 1 box raisins
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening or margarine
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 cup hot water or coffee
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pan.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips & Substitutions

For a moister cake, consider adding a mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce as a substitute for some of the water. If you don't have brown sugar, you can use white sugar with a bit of molasses to mimic the flavor. Make sure to mix the dry ingredients well before adding wet to ensure even distribution of baking soda.

Serving Suggestions
