DESCRIPTION
Poor Man's Cake

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under cakes

INSTRUCTIONS
This was a cake my mother made often. She called it a poor man's cake because it had no eggs or milk. I'm sure it is probably the same as "Depression Cake".

1 package seedless raisins(there was no qty or size listed. Probably one regular box)

1 package brown sugar(same thing as above)

2 TBS butter

2 cups water

1 tsp each cinnamon & cloves(and whatever you might have handy)

1 pinch of salt

Put all the above ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes after boiling begins. Remove from heat and cool. Add 3 cups of AP flour and 1 tsp baking soda. Mix well. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans or 1 9X13 pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 1 hour.

Spread the word
