Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, allspice, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, 2 cups of sugar, eggs, apples, 1 cup of pecans, and raisins. Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, and pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs, about 70 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
- For glaze, mix 1/2 cup of white sugar, the brown sugar, half and half, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a syrup, 5 to 10 minutes. A candy thermometer will read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). At that point, stir in butter, 1 cup of pecans, and vanilla extract. Continue to cook and stir until the syrup reaches 234 degrees F (110 degrees C).

MAPLE RAISIN POUND CAKE
Pound cakes got their name because they originally were made with a pound of flour, a pound of eggs, a pound of sugar and a pound of butter. This cake, with its Canadian twist of raisins and maple syrup, is served with a maple sauce but it can be omitted, if you HAVE to :) This is another recipe by Lucy Waverman, who happens to be my favourite chef!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh raisins, butter, and eggs will give your pound cake the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Use a bundt pan or tube pan to bake the cake: This will help to create a moist, evenly-baked cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: The cake can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
