Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup rum
3/4 cup raisins
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup applesauce
1 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted, cooled and chopped coarse
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9- by 3-inch tube pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • In a small saucepan heat rum and raisins over moderate heat just until hot. Remove pan from heat and cool mixture. Strain mixture through a sieve and reserve raisins.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, nutmeg and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy and add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in applesauce and add flour mixture, beating just until batter is combined. Stir in reserved raisins and nuts and spread batter in pan.
  • Bake cake 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean, and cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack and cool completely. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar.

This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra applesauce next time.
