| Cake

Apple bundt cake is very easy to make, requires no fancy frosting or filling, and is delicious for serving at breakfast, tea time or even as a birthday cake with a chocolate or fruit glaze covering.

Ingredients

 * 2 cups (450 g / 16 oz) white granulated sugar
 * Zest of 1 lemon
 * 4 eggs
 * 1 cup (250 ml / 8.5 fl oz) vegetable oil
 * 1 tsp vanilla
 * 2 cups (275 g / 9.7 oz) flour
 * ½ tsp allspice
 * ½ tsp nutmeg
 * 2 tsp baking powder
 * 2 tsp baking soda
 * 1 tsp salt
 * 1 tsp cinnamon
 * 3 large tart apples, grated
 * ½ cup (40 g / 1.4 oz) raisins

Procedure

 * 1) Mix quickly the sugar and lemon rind in a food processor.
 * 2) Add eggs and blend until it becomes a nice cream.
 * 3) Continue blending while slowly adding the oil. Blend until well mixed and add vanilla.
 * 4) In a separate bowl sift the dry ingredients all together (flour, allspice, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon).
 * 5) Mix the dry ingredients slowly into the batter, blending until it becomes nice and thick.
 * 6) Add grated apples and blend quickly into batter just to mix. Be sure not to overblend and shred the apples too much.
 * 7) Add raisins, and pulse the processor as to just mix them in and not shred them.
