For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rum or brandy to the raisins while they soak. Ensure your butter is properly softened to achieve a smooth and creamy batter. If you don't have a tube pan, a Bundt pan or even a regular cake pan can be used, but adjust baking time accordingly. Dust the raisins with flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

May 9, 2025I was a bit skeptical about the applesauce, but it makes the cake so tender. My family devoured it in one sitting!
