Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring the raisins and water to a boil.

- Add the boiled raisins and water to the sausage mixture.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together and add to the sausage-raisins mixture alternately with the Southern Comfort.
- Add the chopped black walnuts and stir all ingredients well.
- Pour the mixture into a well-greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish or a Bundt pan.

- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then pour glaze over if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using turkey sausage instead of lean pork sausage for a lighter version. If you can't find black walnuts, regular walnuts or pecans are great substitutes. Ensure that the raisins are plump by soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes before boiling. Mixing the dry ingredients separately can help prevent clumping when added to the wet mix.
Serving Suggestions
This Southern Comfort Sausage Cake is delicious on its own, but you can enhance it with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze or serve it with a side of whipped cream. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad or a dollop of ice cream for a decadent dessert. It also makes a great brunch dish alongside Spanish Rice With Sausage.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, slice the sausage cake and warm it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or until heated through. It can also be gently reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
