  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 0.25 cup rum
  • 0.66666698455811 cup chopped raisins
  • 0.75 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg

Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously grease a 9- or 10-inch tube pan.
  • Create a warm bath for the raisins by pouring boiling water into a small bowl, then gently mix in the rum. Let the flavors mingle and set aside.
  • Combine melted butter with a large mixing bowl, then beat in the egg and stir in the raisin mixture.
  • Combine sugar, flour, baking soda, and cocoa in a separate bowl. Mix into the raisin mixture. Fold in chopped pecans until just combined. If needed, add water to adjust the batter's thickness. Transfer batter into the prepared tube pan.
