Instructions
- Place raisins, lemon rind, and whiskey in a small bowl; set aside to soak overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper that is buttered and dusted with flour. Sift flour, salt, cloves, and baking powder into a bowl; set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks and beat well. Quickly beat in flour mixture. Stir in soaked raisins.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip egg whites until stiff; fold into cake batter. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Cool cake on a wire rack.
- To make glaze: Mix lemon juice, confectioners' sugar, and just enough whiskey and warm water so that you can drizzle icing over cake.
