Bring sugar, hot water, salt, cinnamon, allspice, Crisco, and raisins to a boil and SIMMER 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, COMBINE 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon HOT water.
ADD baking soda and HOT water combined to boiled mixture. Do not mix in, just pour in and it WILL sizzle/bubble.
MUST COOL mixture to room temperature.
When cool, mix in 3 cups flour.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 55 minutes to an hour.
Cake is best left for 3 to 4 days before serving.
HINT: Looks nice if baked in a fluted Bundt* pan and can be wrapped in aluminum foil.
ENJOY!
NOTE: To prevent the cake from sticking, it is IMPORTANT that all the creases of the fluted sides are WELL greased with Crisco and floured before pouring in batter.
