1 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 325°F.


Place raisins and water in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until water is reduced to about one cup. Set aside to cool.


Cream sugar and oil by beating vigorously.


Add raisins and liquid.


Beat together until the mixture is smooth.


Add flours, baking soda, and spices, and mix well.


Bake in a lightly oiled 9-inch square pan for 30–40 minutes.
