Raisin Coffee Cake with Almond Streusel Topping

I'm on a kitchen mission to only use ingredients already on hand and gotta tell ya, that has been... challenging. I did have raisins in the closet and I think they're something folks tend to forget are great in baked goods. So, I modified G-Mom-B's Crumb Cake and baked up this Raisin Coffee Cake with Almond Streusel Topping. I think she would approve:@)

I made a half batch in my small 8" cast iron skillet, for the full batch recipe you can click HERE or double everything.

Cake:

1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
3 Tblsp sugar
1/2 egg-just estimate
1 Tblsp melted shortening or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
milk till drippy-sorry, it's Grandmom's recipe:@)
Raisins, steeped in hot water then squeezed before adding to batter-as many as you'd like

Streusel:-adapted from lifeasmom
1/4 C A/P flour
2 Tblsp melted butter
2 Tblsp brown sugar
1/4 C nuts-I used almonds

1/4 tsp almond extract

1. Mix cake ingredients (except raisins) and add to greased and floured baking dish. 
2. Sprinkle squeezed raisins over batter.
3. Mix streusel with a fork and sprinkle over cake. Tip: add the almond extract to the butter for more even distribution.
