Delicious Raisin Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This raisin cake recipe is simple and easy to make. You will need the following ingredients to make this delicious cake:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup of granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of buttermilk, at room temperature
- 1 cup of raisins
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, optional
- Cream cheese frosting, optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Beat in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the raisins and optional pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
If desired, frost with cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
