Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 10-inch tube pan. Cover raisins with warm water and let soak for 10 minutes; drain. Whisk flour, spices, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water together until smooth; stir into sugar mixture. Mix in flour mixture, apples, and strained raisins until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
