Recipe Introduction


Recipe of Depression Cake from August 2009 Guideposts Magazine


List of Ingredients




1 C brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 C water
1/3 C oil
2 C dark raisins
2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t ground nutmeg
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 t water
2 C gf flour mix
1 t baking powder


Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine sugar, water, oil, raisins and spices in a saucepan, and boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Take pan off heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

2. Dissolve baking soda and salt in 2 teaspoons of water and add to raisin mixture (it will foam). Blend in the flour and baking powder. Mix well.

3. Pour batter into a greased 9-inch-square pan and bake for 55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

I made this tonight. Pretty good, a little on the dry side though. If I could fix the dryness I'd probably make it again. I did sub the vegetable oil for coconut oil at half the amount.
