Warm Apple Spice Cake

1 cup cake flour 
2 cups all-purpose flour 
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 
1/2 tsp nutmeg  
1/2 tsp cinnamon  
1/4 tsp mace   
1/4 tsp ginger   
1/2 tsp salt  
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 
2 cups sugar 
3 eggs  
3 1/2 cups apples, unpeeled 
3/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped 
1 cup raisins, plumped in bourbon 

Preheat oven to 325.  Butter and flour an 8" springform pan.  In
a mixing bowl, sift all dry ingredients together and set aside.
Blend the oil and sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed for
5 minutes.  Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well.  Gradually
fold the dry ingredients into the oil mixture and combine thoroughly.
Add the apples, pecans and raisins, and blend well with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.  Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours,
or until a knife inserted comes out dry.  Drizzle some caramel
sauce over slices of the cake, and serve with a scoop of vanilla
bean ice cream.
