Yield Makes 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 Cortland or Empire apples, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup raisins

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. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this apple cake with raisins a try. You won't be disappointed!
