God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, all the friends I want to see. Our time is too short for pettiness, angry words, wounded feelings, crushed souls. Perhaps the measure of life is not in its length, but in its love (John Burroughs).

INSTRUCTIONS
Line the bottom of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan with wax and and grease the
paper well. In a small saucepan bring the raisins and water to a boil,
simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Strain raisins over a measure, reserving
liquid, cool raisins and reserve. Set aside 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid
to cool, if there is not enough to make this amount, add cold water,if
there is more than this discard the extra liquid. In a bowl, stir together
the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. In the large bowl of an
electric mixer cream the butter, sugar and vanilla, beat in the egg until
well blended. Stir in half the flour mixture until blended, stir in 1/4 cup
of the raisin liquid until blended, stir in the remaining flour mixture and
raisin liquid in the same way. Fold in the reserved raisins. Turn into the
prepared pan. Bake in a preheated 350° oven until a cake tester comes out
clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Place cake in pan on a wire rack, let cool for 10
minutes. Loosen edges and turn out on the wire rack, turn right side up on
the rack, cool completely and slice at once if you desire. Store the cake
tightly wrapped in saran or tightly closed in a plastic bag in the
refrigerator Tootie Note: I have sprayed the pan well and it works fine
without the waxed paper.
