Ingredients  

  • 2 C water

  • 1/2 C vegetable shortening, or butter
  • 1 C granulated sugar
  • 1 TSP baking soda
  • 2 C all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 TSP ground cloves
  • 1/2 TSP ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 TSP ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 TSP ground allspice
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Caramel sauce to drizzle on top

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees, and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Add the water and raisins to a saucepan.
  • Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 10 minutes. You will want to stir the raisins occasionally.
  • Add the shortening to the boiled mixture. Then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Sift together the sugar, soda, flour, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  • Add the sifted ingredients to the cooled raisin mixture, along with the beaten egg.
  • Fold gently until the flour is just incorporated into the batter. (Careful not to over mix!)
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Set aside to allow the Spanish bar cake to cool completely.
  • Top with a caramel drizzle.
  • Cut, serve, and enjoy your homemade Spanish bar cake.
