How to Make Apple Raisin Nut Spice Cake

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup molasses, and ¼ cup orange juice.
4. Gently fold in the dry ingredients, followed by 1 cup raisins, 2 cups peeled and chopped apples, and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. The batter will be thick.
5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 45 minutes.
6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite glaze.
