1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with baking spray. Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, allspice, salt, and cloves. Add the flour mixture and the applesauce alternately to the sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in the raisins and pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

2. Bake until a long wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in the pan about 10 minutes; remove from the pan, and cool completely on a wire rack. Dust the cake lightly with the powdered sugar before serving.
