For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the apple topping. If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract works well as a substitute. This cake is best enjoyed the day it is baked, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. (5 minutes)
02
StepSoak the raisins in boiling water while the oven preheats. This will plump them up beautifully. (15 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
04
StepBeat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract and milk until well combined. (3 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. (2 minutes)
06
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The dough will be somewhat loose. (5 minutes)
07
StepDivide the dough evenly between the prepared cake pans and gently press it into the bottom of each pan, bringing it slightly up the sides to create a small edge. (5 minutes)
08
StepDrain the soaked raisins and scatter them evenly over the dough in each pan. (3 minutes)
09
StepArrange the apple slices in a spiral pattern over the raisins in each pan, overlapping the slices slightly to create an attractive design. (15 minutes)
10
StepSprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar evenly over the apples in each pan, then drizzle with the melted butter. (2 minutes)
11
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the cake is lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean. (35 minutes)
12
StepLet the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
