4. Cake can be frosted with cream cheese icing, or served with whipped cream, but I think it tastes great just as it is -- the apples inside sweeten it up very nicely!!-- up to you.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh raisins, butter, and eggs will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
