Pastry chef Debbie Maruke glazes the cake and serves it with a caramel sauce, but we think the cake is terrific on its own.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups vegtable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 Cortland or Empire apples, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1/2 cup raisins
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan, knocking out excess flour.
-
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together oil, eggs, sugars, spices, rum, and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in apples and raisins and spoon batter into pan.
-
Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.
-
Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
Cooks’ note: Cake keeps in an airtight container at room temperature 5 days.
