How to Make Frosted Raisin Squares
- Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
- Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 cup raisins. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drain the raisins well, reserving the liquid. Add the reserved liquid to the batter and mix well.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the cake cools, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup milk, blending until desired consistency is reached. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost evenly with the icing.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
- Cut into squares and serve.
