RAISIN BAR SHEET CAKE



Raisin Bar Sheet Cake image

This is my mother's recipe from when we were kids, and the first recipe I prepared solo as a child. My mother's old cookbook still bears the traces of a cooking mishap. I had a little problem with the hot water and a metal bowl. Needless to say, don't pick up a metal bowl with boiling water in it -- it's HOT. Icing the cake while slightly warm is essential, the icing goes on much easier and forms a nice glaze. It's very moist cross between a bar and a cake.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unsalted butter, softened, for baking sheet
2 cups raisins (about 13 ounces)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup apple cider
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/4 cups vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line bottom with parchment paper, and butter parchment; set sheet aside.
  • Make filling: Pulse raisins and sugar in a food processor until almost pureed. Transfer to a saucepan. Whisk cornstarch into 1 cup cold water; whisk into raisin mixture. Stir in cider. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and sugar has dissolved, about 6 minutes.Let cool completely.
  • Make dough: Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Put shortening in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Add brown sugar, and mix until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and mix until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Mix in oats.
  • Press half the dough into prepared baking sheet. Spread raisin filling evenly over top of dough. Crumble remaining dough on top of filling using your fingers, gently pressing down so that topping covers filling. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until top is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely in sheet on a wire rack. Cut into 2-inchsquares. Bars can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 5 days.

RAISIN CAKE



Raisin Cake image

My mom always made this cake at Christmas time. She would cut it in bar size pieces and put it with the Christmas cookies. It was always one of my favorites, and my dad's as well. Don't over bake and make sure you keep it in a air tight container until you are ready to eat. Measurements for the frosting are approximates. Only add enough water to make the glaze easily spreadable. These can be frozen for a couple weeks.
