Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Stir in hot water and raisins. The batter will be thinner than a standard muffin batter—this is normal for Sailor Jacks.
Step 4: Bake
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each a little over halfway.
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Ice & Serve
While the cakes are baking, mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and water until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over warm muffins, or dip the tops for a thicker glaze.
✨ These Sailor Jacks are best enjoyed fresh and warm, with their rich spice aroma and sweet molasses flavor bringing a cozy, nostalgic touch to any snack time.
