01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish to get it ready. In a large bowl, beat the shortening and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is nice and smooth. Then, add the egg and mix it in well. Pour in the hot coffee and give everything a good stir.

Step 2
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed.

Step 3
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and pop it into the oven. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once out of the oven, let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
