Ingredients

2 cups golden raisins

1 1/2 cups bourbon, divided

3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

5 eggs

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Marinate raisins in 1 cup bourbon for up to 12 hours. Drain bourbon and reserve.

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine reserved bourbon with lemon peel and juice. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture alternately with bourbon mixture.

Toss remaining 1/4 cup flour with drained raisins and nuts; fold into batter. Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Brush with remaining bourbon.

This cake will keep for a long time if wrapped in a bourbon-soaked cheesecloth and stored in a tightly-lidded container.

It sounds really lovely with the marinated raisins, caramia! I'm sure it will be good too with brown sugar! For me, it's more than a 5! Thank you for sharing!
