Ingredients:
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a bundt pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with flour.
-
Prepare Raisins: In a small bowl, toss the raisins with 2 tablespoons of flour until lightly coated. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake while baking.
-
Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until fluffy and well combined.
-
Add Oil: With the mixer running, slowly pour in the oil until fully incorporated into the egg-sugar mixture.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the remaining flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and vanilla to the batter, mixing well after each addition.
-
Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Then, stir in the prepared raisins.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Glaze: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. To make the glaze, simply stir together the maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Apple Spice Cake and serve it with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a cozy and comforting treat. Enjoy the delicious flavors of apples and spices in every bite!
