favorite coffee squares

Another recipe from my grandma. My mom makes these A LOT. I really don't care for raisins, but they really don't bother me in this recipe.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A piece of these coffee squares with a cup of steamy coffee... what a way to start the day! These are moist, cake-like bars spiced with warm cinnamon and cloves. They're filled with plump raisins. If you don't think you like raisins, you may have a new appreciation for them after trying a piece of this cake. On top, is a simple powdered sugar frosting that adds the right amount of sweetness.
