Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, soak the raisins in rum overnight. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for a week. It can also be frozen for up to three months. Toasting the nuts before adding them enhances their flavor and crunch. Consider lining your baking mold with parchment paper for easier removal. Enjoy this delightful cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream!
