Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 12 x 9 x 24 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle half the raisins in the bottom of the dish. Make a layer of half
the cake slices over the raisins. Sprinkle with the remaining raisins and
top with the rest of the cake. Combine the milk and sugar in a medium
saucepan and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and
stir in the cream, rum and Marsala. Beat the eggs, orange peel and
cinnamon and stir into the milk mixture.
Slowly pour the liquid over the cake slices, pressing them down. Let stand
10 minutes. Place the dish in a large roasting pan and fill it to a depth
of one inch. Bake 30 minutes or until a knife inserted 2 inches from the
edge comes clean and the top is golden. Just before serving, sprinkle with
confectioner's sugar. Serve warm or chilled.
