½ cup of shortening (1/2 cup butter is 115g)
1 cup sugar (200g)
1 egg
1 tin tomato soup (I used Heinz)
1 tsp soda (baking powder)
2 cups flour (240g)
1½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup raisins (about 180 -200g)
Cream the shortening, add the sugar and a well beaten egg, stir in the soup. Sift the dry ingredients and add these gradually to the mixture. Flour the raisins lightly and beat into the mixture. Bake for 45 mins in a well-greased and floured tin at 350°F (180°C, Gas 4).
