Ingredients

Servings

• 2.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Ground almonds
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon Brandy or rum
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Chopped candied orange peel
• 2 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and brandy or rum.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the raisins, chopped walnuts, and chopped candied orange peel.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
7. Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
