How to Make Pumpkin And Rum Raisin Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
  2. In a small bowl, soak raisins in rum (or apple juice) for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and oil until light and frothy.
  4. Stir in pumpkin puree until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drain the soaked raisins, reserving the soaking liquid.
  8. Gently fold in the raisins and pecans.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  10. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the reserved raisin soaking liquid and vanilla extract.
  13. Gradually add powdered sugar, whisking until smooth. Add more raisin liquid, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  14. Once the cake is completely cool, pour or brush the glaze over the cake, allowing each layer to set before adding the next.
