Apple Spice Ring

From "The New Laurel's Kitchen" cookbook:
A moist, dense, spice cake. Excellent at this time of the year!

• 2.1/2 cups grated apple (peeled & cored first)
• 2 cups raisins (I used golden and sultana)
• 1.1/2 cups boiling water
• 3 T oil
• 1 cup + 2 T honey
• 1.1.2 tsp cinnamon
• 1.1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1.1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups whole what pastry flour
• 1.1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 chopped walnuts (or pecans)
  

Preheat over to 350 deg F. Pour boiling water over apples and raisins. Top with oil and let stand for 10 minutes. Add honey & spices (including salt), then allow to cool.
Sift together the dry ingredients and add nuts. Combine with other ingredients. Pour into well-greased tube pan (or 8"x8" pan or two 4"x8" loaf pans). Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Stores well in refrigerator up to one week.
