1 c Water
2 tb Instant coffee granules
1/2 c Raisins
1 ts Baking soda
1 1/4 c Sugar
1/4 c Butter; softened (1/2
; stick)
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 Egg
1/8 ts Ground cinnamon
2 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan, combine the
water, coffee, raisins, and baking soda. Bring to a boil and cook for
2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and allow to
cool. In a medium-sized bowl, with an electric beater on medium
speed, cream the sugar and butter. Add the vanilla, egg, and
cinnamon, beating until well mixed. Alternately stir in the flour and
the cooled raisin mixture, mixing well. Fold in the nuts, then divide
the batter evenly between 2 clean coffee cans that have been coated
with nonstick cooking spray. Place both cans on a baking sheet and
bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then remove from
the cans and allow to cool completely. Slice and serve.
