Eggless Maritime War Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1 cup light molasses
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate heat setting of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or the equivalent temperature of 165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by lightly coating it with butter or cooking spray and then dusting it evenly with flour. You can use either a 9-inch tube-shaped baking pan or two 9x13-inch rectangular loaf pans, whichever suits your needs best.
3
In a separate saucepan, combine water, plump raisins, molasses, sugar, and shortening.
4
Once the ingredients have reached a boiling point, gradually decrease the heat to a low simmer and allow them to cook together for about 5 minutes, or until the raisins have become soft and plump.
5
After this initial cooking phase has completed, allow the mixture to cool down slightly.
6
To create the dry ingredients for your cake, whisk together flour, baking soda, and a pinch of cinnamon in a separate bowl.
7
Once the dry ingredients have been mixed together, gently stir them into the cooled raisin mixture until everything is well combined.
8
Finally, pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and place it in the preheated oven to bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, approximately taking about 1 hour.
