Steps:
- In a medium size saucepan, mix the sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves, salt, shortening and raisins. Boil over medium heat 5 minutes. Set the saucepan away from the stove and let the mixture cool off for 50 minutes or so. Place the saucepan in the the large mixing bowl filled with ice to cool the mixture off quickly.
- Heat the oven up to 350F. Grease a baking dish (tube pan or sheet pan). Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to the liquid mixture. Stir well. Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 1 hour in a tube pan or 30 minutes in a sheet pan. Do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes of baking. Check on the cake doneness with a knife or a toothpick (if it comes out clean, the cake is ready). Let the baked cake sit in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle the cake top with the powdered sugar mixed with the ground cinnamon, if desired.
MARITIME WAR CAKE
This eggless cake was developed by resourceful cooks during the war when eggs, butter, and milk were rationed. It is a traditional Christmas cake here on the East Coast of Canada. Served with a nice big hunk of Cheddar cheese and a hot cup of tea, it is a real holiday treat!

WW2 WAR CAKE
An eggless, almost fatless, milkless cake, very aptly named - it was popular during wartime shortages. It is dense and delicious uniced. For those who yearn for a good cake, but must resist fat, this will do it.

BOILED RAISIN CAKE (CANADIAN WAR CAKE)
This is called War Cake because it was made in Canada during WW2 and was shipped out to the troops serving overseas. My grandmother used to make this cake and let it sit for at least a week before slicing into it. But, this recipe I found in a local fundraising cookbook, calls for it sitting for only one day before slicing it up. Just as yummy as grandmas.
