| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Baking powder | 1 1/2 tsp |

Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth, then gradually beat in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
-
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the undiluted evaporated milk and rum to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition until a smooth batter forms.
-
Fold in the chopped apples, raisins, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter, ensuring a delightful burst of flavors in every bite.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x12x2 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
-
Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking.
-
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back lightly when gently pressed in the center.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the Apple Rum Raisin Cake into generous portions and serve either warm or at room temperature, garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
