Chocolate cake with raisins
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you'd like to make a more festive version of the raisin loaf, I recommend adding some nuts and possibly other dried fruits. I used cherries, but dried cranberries also work very well. To make a chocolate raisin loaf, soak the raisins beforehand so they become soft. If you decide to add nuts, I recommend toasting them or warming them in the oven. If children will be eating the loaf, you can omit the brandy.

It's most convenient to bake in a silicone mold. You don't need to grease it. Spread the dough evenly and place in a preheated oven at 170°C for 45 minutes.
