This is certainly the kind of cake that you can keep around for a few days (if it doesn't get eaten before that!), 'cause it seems to taste better & better the longer it ages! Another time I'd like to have a side of vanilla sauce for those who'd like to try it that way! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]

DH started his day with coffee, raisin cake that was still warm from the oven and a smile. I cut the raisins to 1 1/2 cups and there is still a generous amount. I had no self-rising flour so I used plain and added 1 tsp of baking powder for a total of 1 1/2. As DH isn't a fan of "plain" cakes I made a glaze using orange juice, a bit of the water the raisins were simmered in and powdered sugar for the top of the cake. It was a hit and I have little doubt that it will be gone before his breakfast tomorrow. Thank you Stardustannie for a simple cake that like an old friend the first time you make it.

<br>I can?t think of anything more relaxing than drooling over cookbooks..... I love 'em all; well the ones with pictures are at the top of my list. I have a huge collection of fundraiser type cookbooks from schools and country towns from all around Australia. These books contain many tried and true old-fashioned family favourites.
