 Terri (Massachusetts) says:
Great result! Like out of the can but better. I've made similar recipes in the past with more molasses, but this one is just right at only 3 T. It must have something to do with boiling the raisins. A can would give it a moist result but because food manufacturers now use Bisphenol-A (BPA) in the liners of canned products I would stick with a regular loaf pan. BPA is bad stuff, and cooking with it can't be good. I baked mine in a standard metal loaf pan in a convection 350°F oven for 49 minutes. Yummy!!
