I have a recipe for German Chocolate Raisin Cake that calls for 22 ounces of raisin pie filling. Where can I buy it?
A. Inquiries of the California raisin industry and several national grocery and foodservice distributors did not find anyone who processes or retails a pie filling containing raisins. Look for a restaurant or bakery that sells whole pies and ask them to provide you with just the filling. Assuming that the raisin pie filling goes between the layers of the German Chocolate Raisin Cake and before it is frosted, raisin pie filling is very easy to make from scratch. Click here for Pudding ‘n Raisin Pie or just add California Raisins to a prepared pudding mix (the kind you cook not instant). Twenty-two ounces is about 2-1/2 cups so either the recipe or the packaged pudding mix should make enough for the cake.
