Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup raisins
• 3 eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ cup confectioners' sugar
• ¼ cup milk
• ¾ cup butter
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup margarita mix
• 2 cups peeled and diced tart apples

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

Step 2

Beat vegetable oil, 1 cup brown sugar, white sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in flour, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg until batter is smooth.

Step 3

Toss apples with lemon juice in a bowl; coat evenly with cinnamon. Fold apples, raisins, walnuts, and coconut into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan; smooth the top.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven, rotating halfway, until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake with a skewer.

Step 5

Melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup brown sugar and milk, stirring frequently until sauce comes to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour sauce slowly over the cake, filling all the holes and letting it soak in evenly. Let cake cool in the pan completely, at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

Stir margarita mix and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth and glossy. Invert cake onto a serving platter and drizzle glaze on top.
