  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease a 12 cup Bundt cake pan or a 9 or 10 inch tube pan generously.

  3. Soak raisins in warm water until they become plump, then drain and dry them. Coarsely chop the raisins.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped raisins, 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, cocoa, chocolate, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. You can also use a food processor to finely chop the filling ingredients for a different texture.

  5. In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy.

  6. Add cream cheese to the mixture and blend until well combined.

  7. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.

  8. Blend in yogurt or sour cream.

  9. Fold in flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well on low speed using a mixer.

  10. Spread one third of the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

  11. Sprinkle some of the filling mixture on top of the batter.

  12. Repeat the layering process until all of the filling and batter are used up.

  13. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the cake is fully cooked.

  14. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it.
