Boiled Spice Cake
350° Oven
Grease 8X8" pan
if your doubling use 9X13" pan
(I usually do)

Mix in a sauce pan, Bringing to a boil,
reduce to lower heat,
simmer for exactly 3 minutes.
Set aside to cool, you can
set the pan in a bowl of
cold water to speed the cooling up.
1 cub butter or margarine
1 c. sugar
1 c water
1 c raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon
(I like to use Golden Raisins)
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Mix dry ingredients together:
2 c flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Bake for 30 minutes or until tester
comes out clean. Let cool,
turn out on wire rack.
*Good idea is to line the
pan with waxed paper after
greasing and flouring.
At Christmas time or to make it look fancy
I cut into squares and roll or put cut pieces in a bag
with powdered sugar. Makes a nice looking presentation..
