UM AND RAISIN CAKE” becomes “Deliciously Moist Grape and Raisin Cake

Start by soaking the raisins in the rum for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the raisins to plump up and absorb the flavors of the rum.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs, and beat them together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, and continue to mix until everything is well combined.

Once the raisins are ready, gently fold them into the batter. Be sure to reserve any excess rum for later use.

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is still warm, use a skewer to poke several holes all over the top. Then, drizzle the remaining rum over the cake, allowing it to soak in and add extra flavor and moisture.

Allow the cake to cool before slicing and serving. You can also dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch. Enjoy your delicious rum and raisin cake with a cup of coffee or tea. Cheers!
