Gollie's" Wash Day Cake
Servings: 12

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup raisins, plumped, see note
1 1/2 cups nuts
2 eggs
1 stick margarine, softened
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 can pie filling, apple, cherry, peach, blueberry, etc.
cinnamon
sugar


Into a large bowl, sift together: flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add: plumped raisins, nuts, eggs, softened margarine, vanilla, pie filling. DO NOT USE MIXER OR PROCESSOR! Mix all at once (by hand -- it's easy), until you see no flour.

Put into greased 9x13" pan or make cupcakes. Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle generously on top of dough. Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes. When you use apricot, peach or blueberry pie filling, add 1/2 tsp almond extract plus the vanilla.

To plump raisins, pour boiling water over raisins, let sit for 5 minutes, and then drain. This freezes nicely or it will keep well for one week when kept covered.
