Dissolve the soda with the brandy and add it to the mixture also; add the cinnamon and the ground cloves.

Then very gradually add the flour, stirring constantly. Finally, combine the walnuts and the raisins with the mixture.

Coat a medium-sized baking tin to spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 40-50 minutes. Cut to serve into oblong pieces.
