How to Make Spanish Bar Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
