Aunt Rosie's Eggless Raisin Cake
"This was a recipe from Hilma Murphy, my best friend's mother. She passed away when I was 12. She always made this cake for us, and after her death, we looked through her recipes and I copied this one down. Easy to make, definitely a comfort cake that is wonderful when still warm!"

Very very nice. My mom was asking for a cake with raisins and nuts, and so I made this one. Very easy to make and very nice. Thank you for posting. I made a couple of changes, I used butter instead of margarine, used 3/4 cup sugar, and omitted the nutmeg as I did not have any. I also added some almonds to the batter. Most good especially when warm. -
Easy to make and put together. The flavor turned out excellently but I didn't have the specific pan mentioned and tried to sub in a 9x5x3 and cook it longer. The toothpick came out clean but the middle was runny. I will try this again. So if this happens to you don't sub in the pan without calculating. The sides were cooked and were delish. Enjoy CHEFDLH -
This is a favorite in my home. I clipped it from a magazine in about 1970 and thought I had it memorized. When I went to check my memory I couldn't find it. The story that came with it was that it was developed during the war when eggs were rationed. So glad you posted it. I also add a handful of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans). I cut the sugar to 3/4 cup. And warm it is fabulous! -
super easy simple and yummy cake.. everyone loved it. I was a bit scared at the start cuz I didn't wait for the raison and butter mixture to cool down I mixed the dry ingrediants while it was hot, but after it was baked it was fantastic.
