How does it taste? Is it moist?

It tastes really good. Better than chocolate cake from the box. Its very moist and has a great chocolate taste.
Tracie

Great, thanks so much for your help.

Your welcome. Can you please let me know how it turns out. You're the first person outside of the family that has gotten the recipe.
Tracie

I sure will. Thanks for all your help.

"This is fun to make and everyone who came to my house had a second serving and might have had more but unfortunately by that time it was all gone. This recipe came from a cookbook published in 1917 during World
War 1 when cooks had to skimp." Anne's note: this is also called "War Cake" or "Victory Cake" in some cookbooks.
It might be suitable for vegans (is shortening derived from animals?)
Into a saucepan, measure sugar, water, shortening and raisins. Boilfor 4 minutes. Cool. Sift together and add remaining ingredients. Bakeat 350F for 40 minutes.
