To 2 cups of Herman add:

2 eggs
2/3 cups vegetable oil
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins

Mix together. Spread in a greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with sides or 2  8 x 8 inch pans.

Sprinkle with topping:

1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup melted butter

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. If you desire, add the glaze below when it is
removed from the oven and still hot.

1 cup maple syrup
¾ cup butter

Boil together for 5 minutes.

Topping Variations:

1 medium sized can crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Cook these 3 ingredients in small saucepan until thickened and pour on raw batter. This variation needs baking time increased to approximately 30-40 minutes. Thinly sliced apples, blueberries or a can or pie filling can be used instead of pineapple.
