We visited Israel in 2005. We had wonderful time there meeting with relatives, eating a lot of tasty food and enjoying historical landmarks. One of the highlights of our food tasting was a cake made by Alex’s great aunt Musya. She gave me a recipe, but, unfortunately, it was lost during our frequent moving from one place to another. <\/p>\n

Recently, I was browsing old photo albums and found the recipe. So, 10 years later, I baked this cake in memory of Musya, who sadly passed on several years ago, and in memory of the great time we had visiting her and her family in Israel.<\/p>\n

Raisin and walnut cake<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong>
\n1 cup of sugar
\n1 cup of raisins
\n1 cup of walnuts
\n1 cup of flour
\n3 tablespoon of butter (melted)
\n3 eggs
\n1\/2 teaspoon of baking soda<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong>
\nPreheat oven to 200 C or about 390 F. Grease 8X8 pan with cold butter or oil spray or line with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Beat sugar and butter together until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. (It was not in the recipe but I like to add vanilla extract or a tablespoon of rum to add some additional flavor.) Combine soda and flour together in a separate bowl. Stir into wet mixture. Add raisins and walnuts. <\/p>\n

Pour the batter into baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (about 30-40 min).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
