Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the raisins and water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Set aside to cool slightly. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir into the batter alternately with the raisin water. Set aside 1/4 cup of the raisin liquid to use for the frosting. Mix in raisins last. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is lightly browned. While the cake is baking, stir together the reserved raisin water, maple extract and confectioners' sugar to make a thin glaze. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Pour glaze over cake while hot. Cool completely, then cut into squares to serve. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
If you don't have maple extract, you can substitute with a drop or two of rum extract or leave it out altogether.
Ensure the butter is properly softened for a smooth and creamy batter.
