Veva's boiled raisin cake

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Sugar
2 cups Raisins
½ teaspoon Cloves
2 tablespoons Cocoa
3 cups Water
1 cup Shortening
3 teaspoons Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Salt
4½ cup Flour; sifted together with:
3 teaspoons Baking soda
1 cup Nuts
1 pack Chopped dates
1 pack Chopped fruit for fruit cakes

Directions

So I'm sending along some of favorite foods my Mom used to fix in the 40's and 50's. Her name is Veva.

Boil the first 10 ingredients for 10 minutes. Cool and add remaining ingredients.

Pour into 3 bread loaf pans (greased) and set them on a cooky sheet to keep the raisins from burning and bake about 1 hr. at 350 F. Better when kept over a long period of time. Posted to Bakery-Shoppe Digest V1 #209 by "William & Evelyn Hall" <wchall@...> on Aug 30, 1997
