Follow The Directions

01

Step

**Night Before (Preparation):** In a medium bowl, combine the dark and golden raisins. Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water, then pour the mixture over the raisins. Ensure all raisins are submerged. Let stand overnight (at least 8 hours) without stirring. This allows the raisins to plump and soften. (8+ hours)

02

Step

**Morning Of (Preparation):** Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thoroughly grease three 1-pound coffee cans. Ensure to coat the bottom and sides to prevent sticking. (15 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the dry ingredients. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Add the raisin mixture (including the soaking liquid) and the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough bread. The batter will be thick. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared coffee cans. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Check for doneness at the 50-minute mark. (60 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the cans from the oven and let them cool on their sides for at least 15 minutes. This helps loosen the bread from the cans. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Once cooled slightly, gently tap the bottom of each can to release the bread. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for enhanced aroma and taste.
Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can be added to the batter for extra texture.
Ensure the raisins are completely covered with the boiling water mixture to prevent them from drying out during the overnight soak.
Greasing the coffee cans well is crucial for easy removal of the bread after baking. Consider using baking spray with flour for extra insurance.
If the tops of the bread are browning too quickly, tent them loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

    My bread was a little dry. Next time, I will try adding a bit more oil or soaking the raisins for a longer time.
