Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Grease and flour a 12 cup Bundt or tube pan.
Sift both flours, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl.
Mix in the oat bran, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and both sugars until there are no lumps.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Beat in the oil, apple juice, vanilla, honey, and applesauce.
Stir half of the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture.
Beat in the rest of the applesauce mixture.
Beat on high for 1 minutes until everything is mixed well together.
Mix in the raisins.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Let the cake cool and remove from the pan.
