Ingredients
1. Soak the raisins in the hot coffee for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk in the remaining ingredients except the cream. Add the raisins and 1⁄4 cup of the soaking liquid.
3. Pour the batter into a 23 cm greased cake tin. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes. Cool, then remove from the tin.
4. Whisk the raisin soaking liquid into the cream and spread over the cake, or use a piping bag to make a pretty pattern.
