Or baking I should say...I feel like baking a cake today. I meant to do it last night, but I was out of eggs...and I went over to my friend Shana's house and had waaaay too much good wine.
Anyway, I thought I would share the recipe of my latest kitchen experiment: Apple Raisin Cake, courtesy of The Gourmet Cookbook (2004).
Apple Raisin Cake
Ingredients
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 ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 Golden Delicious apples (peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch dice)
1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
Put a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour Bundt pan, knocking out extra flour.
Sift together flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
Whisk together oil, eggs, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, rum and vanilla in a large bowl until just combined. Fold in flour mixture until just combined, then fold in apples and raisins.
Spoon batter into pan. Bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours. Cool cake pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
Happy Friday!!
