2 cups seedless raisins
1/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ginger
1 cup hot water
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
MIX: raisins, butter, sugar, ginger and water in a saucepan. Place over high heat and bring to boiling point. Lower heat and simmer for 6 minutes.
REMOVE: from heat and pour mixture into large bowl; allow to cool for 20 minutes.
ADD: orange juice, vanilla, combine dry ingredients to cooled raisin mixture and beat well with a wooden spoon.
TURN: batter into well greased loaf pan. Using a spatula, make a path, (lengthwise) in the batter, so sides are higher than the center.
BAKE: at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes then unmold and cool completely. Let cake ripen at least 1 day before slicing.
