Apples and raisins are arranged over the top of a buttery cake before baking to make a beautiful and sweet dessert. Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins |
2 cups boiling water |
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened |
1 cup white sugar |
2 large eggs |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
3/4 cup milk |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
8 apples, peeled, cored and sliced |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Soak the raisins in boiling water while the oven preheats.
2. Cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine with 1 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one by one, then add the almond extract and milk. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder; stir into the creamed butter to form a loose dough.
3. Divide the dough in half and press each half into the bottom of a prepared cake pan, bringing it slightly up the sides. Drain the raisins and scatter them over the dough. Arrange the apple slices in a spiral pattern over the raisins, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and drizzle with 1/2 cup of melted butter or margarine.
4. Bake in preheated oven until apples are soft and the dough is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
