STEPS

1

Place raisins, lemon zest, and whiskey in a bowl; soak overnight.

2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square cake pan with buttered and floured parchment paper. Sift flour, salt, cloves, and baking powder into a bowl; set aside.

3

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks and beat well. Quickly mix in dry flour mixture and soaked raisins.

4

Whip egg whites until stiff in a separate bowl and fold into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

5

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake on a wire rack.

6

Prepare the glaze by mixing lemon juice, confectioners' sugar, and enough whiskey and warm water to form a drizzle. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
