Recipe Introduction


These are more cakey than the traditional brownie, but they taste great.



List of Ingredients




1 cup raisins
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup shortening
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup hot coffee
1 cup walnuts, chopped


Recipe



Soak the raisins in hot water for 5 minutes, drain well. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Sift the dry ingredients together. Cream the shortening and sugar; add eggs and beat well. To the creamed mixture, add dry ingredients alternately with the hot coffee. Mix well then stir in the raisins and nuts.

Turn batter into a greased 10x15-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 for 22-30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.

Make a simple icing with 2 cups confectioners sugar, 2 tsp. melted shortening, and enough water to make the icing of spreading consistency. Frost brownies while they are still slightly warm.
