Preparation

Walnuts & Raisins

Place your chopped walnuts and raisins in a bowl along with the baking soda. Pour the boiling water over top and set aside.

Zest & Juice Orange

Take your fresh orange, and zest with microplane until you have 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Once you’ve got all your zest, slice in half and juice until you have 1 tablespoon of juice. Set aside.

Sift Dry Ingredients

Sift your flour and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter & Sugar

Cream your butter, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in your mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Approximately 8-10 minutes.

Add Eggs & Orange

Add your eggs and egg yolks to your creamed butter and sugar mixture, two at a time. Blend until incorporated.

Add Dry & Wet Ingredients

Alternate your dry ingredients with your warm walnut/raisin mixture in small increments. Begin by adding your dry ingredients and then your wet, mixing until incorporation each time. Add the dry in 4 parts, and the wet in 3, beginning and ending with dry.

Bake

Pour your batter into your prepared pans, and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in pans on a wire rack.
