Cream together the sugars, honey, butter, shortening and salt until light
and fluffly. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Add Herman
starter, applesauce, vanilla and rum flavoring. In another bowl, combine
flours, spices, baking soda and baking powder. Mix thoroughly with a wire
whisk. Fold into creamed mixture. Fold in chopped walnuts and raisins if
using them. Pour into a greased and floured
10-inch tube pan or use a bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 75-80
minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
