I Found This Recipe in a WWII Cookbook... It Shouldn’t Be This GOOD

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: milk

Coconut cream adds richness while being dairy-free.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness; brown sugar enhances flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats; margarine is often less expensive.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed meal is a vegan binder; aquafaba is a cost-effective egg substitute.

Cream the butter, add the sugar, corn syrup, and cream.

Sift and measure flour, then sift again with the dry ingredients.

Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk.

Add the raisins and vanilla, and pour the batter into a greased baking dish.

Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, boiling water, and butter, and pour this sauce over the top of the batter.

Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes.
