Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams raisins
- 125 milliliters water
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Place the raisins and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes to plump the raisins. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the slightly cooled raisin mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until well combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 12 even pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
