Boiled Raisin Cake image

This is a family recipe that I remember very well from when I was a child. My mother made it very often. It is a very moist cake that will need no frosting. The sugar you sprinkle on before baking is all the frosting it will need. It makes a lovely crispy topping. I hope you all enjoy it as my family has for many, many years.
