Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons cognac, optional
- 1/2 cup walnuts
How to Make
-
Step 1: Cream shortening and brown sugar (I would do 1/4 cup shortening and 1/4 cup butter).
-
Step 2: Soak raisins now in cognac. Add eggs.
-
Step 3: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice together.
-
Step 4: Add wet and dry ingredients alternately.
-
Step 5: Stir in raisins and walnuts.
-
Step 6: Place batter in lightly greased and floured pan.
-
Step 7: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes in a 13x9 pan (I think this cake would do better in a smaller, taller cake pan but you would have to bake it longer).
-
Step 8: Bundt pan takes 45 minutes or thereabouts.
