Raisin Cake
- Cooking-oil spray
- 2 cups raisins
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into chunks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Coat a 9- by 13-in. baking pan with cooking-oil spray and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring raisins and 3 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, and let sit until butter melts.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt. Set aside.
- Stir raisin-butter mixture into flour mixture. Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Serve cake warm or at room temperature.
