Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a tube or bundt pan and set it aside.

Cream the shortening in a large bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Then, add the white sugar and egg, and stir until smooth.

Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
-
Carefully transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, you can dust the cake with icing sugar for a decorative touch, if desired, or serve it plain.
