Christmas spices and raisin – now honestly we eat this any time of year but at Christmas it’s that great combination of traditional spices. This Vegan Spiced Raisin Cake is lovely – super moist with a tonne of raisins and some dried cranberries as well. If it’s summer, just use all raisins if you prefer!.
This recipe is based on one given to us by my sister in law, Wendy. Molly loved it when we visited in Canada so she kindly sent us the recipe.
If you’re interested in other cakes that are good at Christmas try our Vegan Orange Bundt cake with Triple Sec.
