2. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Cover a round shape with a diameter of 18 centimeters with parchment.
3. Beat softened butter with sugar until fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, cloves and baking powder. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Gradually introduce the yolks into the oil mixture, alternating with flour. Add soaked raisins with zest and whiskey to the dough, mix until smooth, but do not overdo it.
