How to Make Aunt Rosie's Eggless Raisin Cake

In a large saucepan, boil 1 cup raisins with 2 cups water for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine. Let cool completely to room temperature. This step allows the margarine to fully melt and incorporate into the batter for optimal moisture and texture.
In the same saucepan, combine the cooled raisin mixture, and remaining ingredients, stirring until completely smooth and well combined. A hand mixer or stand mixer can be helpful here for a smoother batter.
Pour batter into a greased 10x7 inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
