One-third cup of butter, one cup of sugar, two yolks and one whole egg, one-half cup of water, one and one-half cups of sifted pastry flour, two level teaspoon fuls of baking powder, three-quarters of a teaspoonful of vanilla and one cup of raisins, seeded and cut in half. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually and when creamy add the eggs, yolks and whites beaten together until very light and give all a vigorous beating. Add the vanilla, then the water and flour alternately, a little at a time. Add the raisins, beat a moment and pour into a cake tin, bake one hour; or bake in a sheet and serve cut into squares, either with or without icing.
