Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and optional ground cloves until fully combined.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and soured milk to the mixture, alternating between the two, and stir until the batter is smooth.

Gently fold in the raisins to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and add it to the batter, mixing until just combined.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
