Raisins and Chocolate Chips Cake

Ingredients:

150g raisins, Add apple juice or rum to cover raisins. 

100g chocolate chips

175g margarine (I've tried making it with butter, but it came out not as good)

175g sugar

4 eggs

225g flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

 

1. Soak raisin for 12-24 hours. It's ok if they soak for a less time – they won't be as plump. Also, you can soak them only in juice if you don't want to use rum.

2. Churn margarine with sugar.

3. Add eggs one by one and keep churning

4. Slowly add flour and baking powder.

5. Add chocolate chips

6. Remove liquid from raisins, and add raisins to the batter. Mix everything

7. I use regular size cake pan. Butter the pan.

8. Bake for 45 mins at 350 degrees.

9. After done baking, pour the liquid (slowly, using a spoon) which soaked the raisins on the top of the cake.
