Step 1
Preheat oven to 350º F and, if using (cleaned) cans, generously spray 4-5 (15 oz.) cans with non-stick spray. If not using cans, use a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
Place raisins in a medium bowl and top with boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes, or until puffed up.
Step 3
Combine wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat in egg.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk baking soda into buttermilk, then stir in molasses.
Step 5
Fold wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated, then fold in plumped up raisins.
Step 6
Pour batter into greased cans, filling them only 1/2 full. Tap cans on counter to remove any air bubbles.
Step 7
Place cans on a baking sheet, then (optional:) place a second baking sheet on top of the cans (to prevent the bread from baking too high).
Step 8
Place baking sheet(s) in oven and bake for 50 minutes.
Step 9
Remove top baking sheet and cook for another 10 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove from oven and use a knife to cut around edges of cans. Gently take loaf out of cans and let cool on a wire rack.
Step 11
Serve with butter or cream cheese and enjoy!
