2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan |
4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan |
2 tablespoons ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar (1 pound) |
6 large eggs |
1/2 cup brandy |
3 cups pecans, chopped (about 12 ounces) |
3 cups raisins (1 pound) |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon orange juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a nonstick Bundt pan (12-cup capacity), tapping out excess flour; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, and baking powder; set aside. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add brandy; beat until combined. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined (do not overmix). Fold in pecans and raisins. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake until cake has pulled away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in top comes out clean, 1 1/2 hours. Immediately invert onto a wire rack, and let cool completely. Set rack with cake over a rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle cake with glaze. (To store, keep at room temperature, up to 4 days.)
