A very rich and spicy bundt cake... this is an online recipe that I adjusted a bit. I managed to run out of flour while I was making this and only had self-rising flour, so I omitted the baking powder and salt; I've also toned down the cloves a bit (the original recipe calls for a whole teaspoon). You could do an icing for this cake, but I think a dusting of confectioners' sugar is just enough. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1/2 cup apple butter |
1/2 cup orange juice |
3/4 cup honey |
4 cups self-rising flour (*) |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 cup beer (something kind of light) |
1 cup raisins |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. *Ifyou don't have self-rising flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour and add 2 tsp.
2. baking powder and 1/4 tsp.
3. salt.
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
5. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
6. Add apple butter, orange juice, and honey; mix well.
7. Toss raisins and walnuts in a small amount of the flour.
8. Add sifted, combined dry ingredients alternately with beer, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
9. Stir in the flour-coated raisins and walnuts.
10. Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt cake pan.
11. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
12. Dust top and sides with confectioners' sugar.
