Eggless-Milkless-Butterless Cake

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup water
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup shortening
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a heavy saucepan, combine first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cook for 5
minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl,
combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add the raisin mixture.
Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes
or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10
minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve with Hard Sauce (also
found in Recipe Finder) if desired.

Yield: 8-10 servings.
