Apea Cake

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into 12 pieces
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon; stir to combine well. Cut in the butter, using a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture is crumbly and forms pea-sized clumps. Stir in the raisins and walnuts.

In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, beat the egg with a fork. Add the vanilla and enough milk to equal 2/3 cup total liquid. Add to the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly moistened.

Transfer the batter to a 9-inch pie plate that has been coated with cooking spray. Smooth out the top of the batter.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
