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.
