Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly and rises beautifully.
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking and make for easier removal once baked.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted butter. Mix until everything is well blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cake’s texture.
- Fold in Raisins: Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for better incorporation.
- Mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Opt for plump, juicy raisins for the best flavor and texture.
- Start checking the cake at the 50-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
- Allow the cake to rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and better flavor development.
