Bring water, raisins, molasses, sugar, and shortening to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to low and simmer until raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
Whisk flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into raisin mixture until well combined, pour into prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Recipe Note

This eggless cake was developed by resourceful cooks during the war when eggs, butter, and milk were rationed. It is a traditional Christmas cake here on the East Coast of Canada. Served with a nice big hunk of Cheddar cheese and a hot cup of tea, it is a real holiday treat!
