Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, eggs, and softened butter. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, mix well until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
-
-
Activate the Baking Soda: In a separate small bowl, mix the baking soda with the sour milk until it foams. This step helps activate the baking soda, ensuring your cake rises beautifully.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the foamed mixture of baking soda and sour milk to the sugar-egg-butter mixture. Next, pour in the molasses and ground cloves. Slowly incorporate the all-purpose flour, stirring or beating until well combined and the batter is smooth. Fold in the raisins gently, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square pan, then pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare the Icing: While the cake is baking, prepare the raisin icing. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and the tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Ice the Cake: Once the cake is baked and still warm, pour the thickened icing over the top, allowing it to soak in slightly for extra flavor.
-
Serve: Let the cake cool for a bit before slicing it into 12 generous pieces. Enjoy your Dutch Cake With Raisin Icing with friends and family, perfect for any occasion.
