 Directions

Heat oven to 350øF. Grease & flour 2 9"x5" loaf pans Cream butter & sugar.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate
bowl, mix together all dry ingredients, except raisins and poppyseeds. In a
measuring cup mix milk, water & flavoring. There should be just over 1 cup
liquid. Add dry mixture and liquids alternately to creamed mixture,
beating well after each addition. Add poppyseeds & blend thoroughtly, then
add the raisins and stir them in gently by hand (to prevent the
flour-coating from coming off which will send all the raisins to the bottom
of the cake!) Pour batter into prepared pans and bake appx. 1 hour 10
minutes (till the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, and a skewer
stuck in the center comes out clean). This is a very densely textured cake,
not like the standard white-cake type of poppyseed cake.
