List of Ingredients




for the Apple Raisin Pound Cake, you will need

•2 cups sugar
•1 & 1/2 cups vegetable oil
•3 large eggs
•2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•3 cups all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1 teaspoon salt
•1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•2 cups chopped, peeled, tart apples (Granny Smith or Ambrosia apples work well)
•1/2 cup baking raisins
for the Apple Cider Glaze


•1/2 cup apple cider (or apple juice to substitute)
•1/2 cup packed brown sugar
•2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F for baking. In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla; mix well. In another medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in the chopped apples and raisins. Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch fluted tube pan (Bundt pan). Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour & 15 minutes, to 1 hours & 30 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean), depending on the accuracy of your oven. Cool for 15 minutes before removing cake from pan to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.

To make the Apple Cider Glaze, combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Prick top of cake with a fork; drizzle gently with glaze.

Note: I like to reserve a bit of the glaze and drizzle lightly over individual portions when serving. Your guests will like this too!

Yield: Depending on the width of your slices, this recipe will yield up to 16 servings. Enjoy!
