Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch Bundt pan, ensuring every crevice is coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Place the raisins in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until plumped. Drain the raisins thoroughly and set aside. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

In a large bowl, combine the raw Italian sausage, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and lightly beaten eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the drained raisins and chopped pecans. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and pumpkin pie spice to ensure even distribution. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the cold brewed coffee. This mixture will fizz slightly. Add the coffee mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Gradually add the moistened flour mixture to the sausage mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

08

Step
1 hrs 30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. (Bake time: 90 minutes)

09

Step
20 mins

Let the bread cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool time: 20 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, consider using a high-quality Italian sausage with fennel. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your sweetness preference.
Chopping the pecans finely ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the bread.
Cold coffee enhances the spice flavors; do not substitute with hot coffee.
Make sure your baking powder is fresh to ensure a good rise.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
