Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup apple butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 tbsp unsulfured (light ) molasses
1 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 lb cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp unsulfured (light ) molasses
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tbsp whipping cream
1 1/2 cups chopped toasted walnuts

Directions:

For Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk apple butter, buttermilk, oil, eggs, molasses and raisins in medium bowl to blend. Stir apple butter mixture into dry ingredients. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer cakes to racks and cool 20 minutes. Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn cakes onto parchment-lined racks and cool completely.
For Frosting: Beat cream cheese and sugar in medium bowl until smooth. Add molasses, butter and vanilla and beat just until smooth. Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting decoratively over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate while preparing caramel.
For Caramel: Stir sugar and cream in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Boil and stir 1 minute. Let stand until very thick but still pourable, about 5 minutes. Drizzle caramel over cake. Press nuts onto sides of cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome; chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
