Ingredients

16 ounces Raisins
1 tablespoon Butter
2 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cup Boiling Water
4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 beaten eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Instructions

In a heatproof bowl add raisins, butter, baking soda and boiling water. Let sit overnight. This makes the raisins plump up. And then add the following to the raisin mixture. (This batter will be very thick.)
Mix well and put into tin cans that have been greased with shortening. (Campbell's large chunky soup size.) This might be a #303, but I am not sure. Fill 3/4 full. This should yield about 6 cans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes, or until done. Remove from oven and let cool for a while before taking the cakes out of the can.

Hi Stephanie! Any ideas as to what to use for molds now that cans aren’t cans anymore? Lona Bremer

I have bread pans that are tubular with caps on each end! How much should I put into the can? Thanks!

Could you use loaf pans instead of the soup cans?
