[ad_1]

 

Old Fashioned Raisin Cake

Old Fashioned Raisin Cake is excellent for breakfast or dessert. Just add a hot cup of coffee, and you’re set.  It’s delicious with butter spread on it hot out of the oven. Loaf cakes are perfect when you just want a more petite dessert or breakfast. Sometimes we don’t need a big dessert, and this is one of our favorites when that is the case.  If you like a combination of the spices below, you will love this old fashioned raisin cake.

“I made this cake last night, it was one of the simplest cakes I’ve ever made. I did not have all the spices so I substituted with 2 teaspoons of apple pie spice. I already shared the recipe with my sister, daughters and granddaughter. Delicious! Thank you!”-Janette
