Raisin cake...

... as served at the SUMA meet yesterday, by special request of Kimmie (I think).

Hope I can remember it all. :?

Soak 200g raisins in 0.2ltrs of juice and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice overnight. (I used pear juice, but I imagine it would work well with apple or orange)

Mix
100g sunflower oil
100g sugar
3 eggs
teaspoon of vanilla extract
300g 85% flour (or wholemeal and white 50/50)
1 tablespoon baking powder

Last add the raisins with all their juice.

Fill into an oiled shallow tin or large spring form. Top with crumbles made from

150g white flour
100g sugar
100g unsalted butter (or butter and marge 50/50)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Bake at medium heat for about 45 minutes.

All the above ingredients apart from eggs and butter can be had from the SUMA coop!

We sometimes have eggs on the swaps table at a Food Co-op meet

This cake is absolutely yummy - soaking the raisins is such a good idea.

You can tell a good cake by how much is left after a food co-op meet... this one was ALL eaten
