Boiled Cake

This recipe is from my mom's side of the family, but I'm not sure of the exact origin.

1 cup raisins
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 lb magarine
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp all spice
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder


Put the following ingredients into a large pot:
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 lb margarine
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp all spice

Let boil for 3 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Once cooled add one beaten egg, flour, and baking soda.
Put mixture into grease and floured loaf pan

Bake at 350'F for one hour. (Times may vary depending on oven. Use a toothpick, or something similar, to determine whether it is done or not).
