Yep, Sharron easy to make but does take some time. This is my grandmother's recipe.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts
2 cups water
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp ground cloves
Can substitute with allspice
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

Cooking
Mix the sugar, water and the cinnamon and cloves in a saucepan or pot. Cook to the consistency of a rich cream.
Let cooked mixture cool, in a mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well, add the walnuts, raisins, and mix again. It can be mixed by hand.
After mixing, pour in the cooked mixture and add the vanilla, stir well to combine everything making a smooth batter.
Pour into a greased bundt pan. Cook at 275°F for 1 1/2 hours to an hour and 45 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool and drizzle with bourbon, bourbon is optional.
