1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Add gradually to batter, beating on medium speed. Combine yogurt and soda; add to batter a few tablespoons at a time. Add vanilla. Mix raisins, spices and walnuts together.

Pour half the batter into a buttered 9 inch pan. Sprinkle half the raisin mixture over batter. Pour on remaining batter; top with remaining raisin mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. Greeks prefer this recipe made as cupcakes.
