Best Apple Cake With Raisins & Walnuts
Consider this the holiday season's lovable anytime cake—breakfast, snack, and show-stopping dessert all in one. Serve it with coffee for breakfast or with whipped cream for dessert. Gift it; freeze it; portion it out for a bake sale. Feel free to swap in booze-soaked raisins, darker sugars, whole wheat flour, or extra-virgin olive oil—this cake is virtually indestructible and that's what we love about it. The recipe is adapted very slightly from The New York Times and Jean Hewitt—we hope they don't mind.
