Ingredients:
- 2-3 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly.
- Prepare Apples and Raisins: Peel, core, and slice the apples. Sprinkle the apple slices and raisins evenly in the greased bundt pan.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Mix until just combined.
- Assemble: Pour the batter over the apples and raisins in the bundt pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly over the fruit.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.
Tips:
- You can sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg over the apples and raisins for an extra flavor boost.
- Serving with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze would add a nice touch.
