Ingredients
- 16 ounces raisins
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cup boiling water
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the raisins, butter, baking soda, and boiling water. Let it sit overnight to plump up the raisins.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the raisin mixture, and mix well. The batter will be very thick.
- Transfer the batter into tin cans (Campbell's chunky soup size) that have been greased with shortening, until they are 3/4 full. This should yield about 6 cans.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until done.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a while before taking the cakes out of the cans.
