Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Stir in the vanilla, rum, and brandy flavorings.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until smooth and combined.
-
Fold in the softened oat mixture, followed by the raisins, chopped nuts, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
