Servings: persons

1 cup raisins (dark or golden)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each ground cloves and ground allspice
2 cups peeled pear chunks (from about 3 pears)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the raisins in a bowl and toss them with 2 tablespoons of the flour until lightly coated (this will prevent them from sinking in the cake batter during baking).
2
To make the cake: Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer) until fluffy.
3
With the mixer running, slowly pour in the vanilla and the oil.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.
5
Mix into the egg mixture.
6
Mix in the pears and nuts, then stir in the raisins by hand, distributing them evenly in the batter.
7
Spoon into a 10-inch tube pan and bake about 45 to 60 minutes, until springy and dry in the center.
8
Let cool in the pan on a wire rack, then turn it out.
9
Freeze until ready to use or just wrap and store for up to 2 days.
10
To make the glaze: Stir the maple syrup and sugar together in a bowl.
11
Glaze the cooled cake by spooning the glaze around the top of the cake and letting it drip down the sides.
