Recipe
The key to this recipe is using fresh, dark-roasted coffee. Butter and flour a bundt pan. Prepare filling: Soak the raisins in the mug of brewed coffee for at least 15 minutes. Combine all the other filling ingredients in a small bowl. Drain the raisins, then add to the filling. Set aside. Prepare cake: Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, coffee, vanilla and sour cream, and mix for another minute or so until well creamed. In a separate mixing bowl, sift the flour, soda and powder. Add to the creamed mixture mixing just enough to incorporate the dry ingredients. Pour half the batter into the pan, followed by half the filling, then the rest of the batter, then the remaining filling. Bake until a wooden stick or cake tester comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
