Cinnamon Raisin Coffee Bread

Directions:

Combine butter, 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon until well blended; set aside. Sift flour, baking soda, salt and remaining 1/2 cup sugar into large bowl. Beat eggs in medium bowl; add liquid and mix well. Blend in shortening and raisins. Pour egg mixture all at once into flour mixture; stir just until flour is moistened. Spread half of batter in greased 8x8x2-inch baking pan; sprinkle with half the butter mixture. Top with remaining batter; draw knife through batter several times to distribute butter mixture slightly. Drizzle with remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with nuts. Bake 45 minutes at 350 F. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into squares and serve warm.
