Ingredients

  

• 1 cup Raisins
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tbsp Baking powder

Instructions

 

• Soak the raisins in the warm water for 15mins. Drain the water and take the raisins in a bowl. Reserve 2 tbsp of raisins and sprinkle 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour over remaining raisins and toss them and keep aside. Also, keep aside the water which can be used for the cake.
  
• Take butter in a mixing bowl and whisk it until soft.
  
• Add a cup of sugar and beat until the sugar melts, becomes soft and creamy.
  
• Now add vanilla extract and beat for a minute.
  
• Measure 2 cups of all-purpose flour, add it to the mixture and mix well. Prefer to mix with a spatula but cut and fold method.
  
• Add a tbsp of baking powder. Beat it for a minute or two.
  
• Take 1/2 or 2/3rd cup of the earlier soaked raisin water to get the desired consistency. You can also add milk instead of water. If you like to add eggs, add 2 eggs. Beat for 2 more minutes.
  
• Add the raisins that are tossed with flour and mix well with a spatula.
  
• Take the cake pan, grease it with butter, and put the parchment paper.
  
• Transfer the cake batter into the cake pan and level the batter by patting it twice.
  
• Sprinkle the earlier reserved raisins on the top.
  
• Meanwhile pre-heat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the cake pan in the oven, bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, or until baked. Baking time varies from oven to oven. For me, it took exactly 55 mins. So after 45 mins, insert a toothpick, if the toothpick comes out clean then the cake is baked perfectly. So adjust the timings as per the oven settings.
  
• When the cake is baked, take off from the oven and let the cake cool down completely.
  
• Enjoy the raisin cake with a cup of tea or coffee.
  

Notes

• While adding any fruits or nuts or choco chips to the cake, firstly toss them with the flour which helps them to spread evenly all over the cake without sinking.
