Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maritime War Cake Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
To ensure your cake releases effortlessly, generously grease and flour a round tube pan or two loaf pans.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine water, plump raisins, rich molasses, sugar, and creamy shortening.
Step 4
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about five minutes, allowing the raisins to soak up the flavors.
Step 5
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, turn your attention to a separate bowl where you’ll whisk together flour, baking soda, and fragrant cinnamon until they are harmoniously blended.
Step 6
Gradually fold this dry mixture into the cooled raisin concoction, stirring until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 7
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
Step 8
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for around one hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your creation is ready to be savored.
Step 9
Enjoy the warm, inviting aroma that fills your kitchen as you await this delicious treat!.
