Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup chopped walnuts
4 eggs
½ cup raisins
½ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 10 inch bundt pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. In another small bowl, mix the chopped nuts and raisins and coat them together with about 1 tablespoon of flour. This is to ensure that the nuts and raisins do not sink to the bottom of the cake while it is baking.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and the butter or margarine. Add the eggs one at a time and beat for 1-2 minutes at low speed. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and the orange juice alternately to the butter mixture and beat until everything is mixed thoroughly. Mix the nuts and raisins mixture into the batter. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10 inch bundt pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cake cool before slicing and serving.

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately for consistent results.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a more tender cake.
  • Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time to avoid curdling.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
  • Stir in the wet and dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Fold in the nuts and raisins gently to avoid breaking them up.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.
