Apple, Raisin, Walnut Cake image

The girls and boys in my junior high home economics classes like this cake because it's not too sweet. I like it because it has high fiber and nutritional value-the apples are used unpeeled. Parents who have apple trees are always glad to donate the apples!

Time 1h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground allspice

2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and shredded
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
½ cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup half-and-half cream
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup chopped pecans
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, allspice, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
