APPLE, RAISIN, WALNUT CAKE
The girls and boys in my junior high home economics classes like this cake because it's not too sweet. I like it because it has high fiber and nutritional value-the apples are used unpeeled. Parents who have apple trees are always glad to donate the apples!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan, knocking out excess flour.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together oil, eggs, sugars, spices, rum, and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in apples and raisins and spoon batter into pan.
- Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.
- Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. For a sweeter cake, use sweeter apples like Fuji or Gala.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda: Old baking powder and baking soda will not work as well, and your cake may not rise properly.
- Don't overbake the cake: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
This apple cake with raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, and its sweet and tangy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
