Molasses Cake

Step 1

Plump your raisins in the hot coffee first.  While they are soaking for a few minutes, get a mixing bowl and add the brown sugar, molasses and eggs at a time and beat through until incorporated before alternating with dry ingredients, egg mixture, oil, and the coffee plumped raisins and remaining ingredients.

Step 2

Grease a 13" x 9" pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 35-40 minutes, depending on how your oven is regulated.  Test with a toothpick or slender knife to see if anything sticks.

Step 3

Frost with your favorite white or maple flavored icing.

Step 4

ENJOY!
