Yeah, I ended up replacing the recipe with a better one:) It’s very similar, but here’s the first recipe. Thanks for asking!
Rum Raisin Cake
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup (8 ounces/226g) butter
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
¾ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange rind
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon or lime rind
½ cup coconut flakes optional
Butter Rum Glaze
1 cup (8 ounces/226g) butter
½ cup sugar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons rum

Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C. Bake ½ cup coconut flakes in the oven for about 10 minutes until it looks lightly toasted. Let them cool.
Grease and line the cake tin (pan) with baking parchment.
To soften raisins, bring water to a boil in a medium sauce, place raisins in a steam basket, and steam for about one minute. Do not submerge the raisins in the water. Remove and place on paper towels to dry.
Cream the butter and sugar at high speed in a stand mixture until it’s fluffy and looks white, 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well between each one and adding a tablespoon of the flour with the last egg to prevent the batter from curdling.
Mix the raisins with about ½ a cup of flour. Set aside
Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter, and then add the grated orange and lime rind, nutmeg, and vanilla flavor. Add coconut flakes, if including, to the cake batter.
Stir well until everything is fully combined. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan or an 8- 9 inch bottomed tube pan and bake at 325℉ (160℃) until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Rum Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar, rum, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Pour glaze over the cake and enjoy.
