Cinnamon Coffee Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup shortening, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup hot coffee
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
Beat shortening and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Blend egg into the shortening mixture. Add hot coffee and stir.
Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into the shortening mixture. Fold raisins and chopped nuts into the batter; spread into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
