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 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 cup beer (something kind of light)
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add apple butter, orange juice, and honey; mix well. Toss raisins and walnuts in a small amount of the flour. Add sifted, combined dry ingredients alternately with beer, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir in the flour-coated raisins and walnuts.

Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt cake pan. Bake at 325°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Dust top and sides with confectioners’ sugar.

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.

*If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour and add 2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt.
