EGGLESS, MILKLESS, BUTTERLESS CAKE

I know. When I first read the title of this recipe I thought what else do you put in a cake?

It does come together to make a pretty good dessert however. Give it a try. Amaze you friends and annoy your enemies.

EGGLESS, MILKLESS, BUTTERLESS CAKE

• 1 lb. seedless raisins (light or dark)
• 3 Tbsp. shortening

• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• ¾ tsp. ginger
• ½ tsp. nutmeg
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 3½ cups flour, sifted
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt

Combine the first 7 ingredients and cook over high heat for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Mix the nuts with the flour; stir into the raisin mixture until well blended.

Dissolve the soda and salt in the warm water and beat into the batter.

Pour into two well-greased loaf pans and bake in a 400° oven for 45 minutes.
