Mix the first three ingredients into crumbs. Take out 1 cup of crumbs and set aside. To remaining crumbs add sour milk, beaten egg, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir in the raisins. Put batter in a greased and floured 9 inch square cake pan. Sprinkle top of the cake with the cup of crumbs that you set aside.
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 40 minutes.

A very simple little cake. Sounds easy and delicious. My hubby would love it with warm applesauce.
Thank you for sharing.

Good point, cybergrannie. I'm familiar with all of the flours that you mentioned, with the exception of instant flour. Can you explain what it is? Thanks!

Hi, your recipe sounds great! One problem that I have is when someone just lists, 2 cups flour.
I teach some young people to cook and this is always a problem for them because we use different types of flour:
cake flour, bread flour, self-rising flour, plain flour, all-purpose flour and now instant flour.
It would be a hugh help if recipes included the type of flour for the "uneducated cookers".
Thanks - I am going to try your recipe this week.
