How to Make Amazin Raisin Cake

  1. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, using a mixer on low speed, beat together for 2 minutes: 1 ½ cups (190g) granulated sugar, ¾ cup (170g) packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup (240ml) Hellmann's mayonnaise, 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. Gently stir in 1 cup (140g) chopped apples, 1 cup (150g) raisins, and ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts by hand.
  4. The batter will be very thick; this is normal.
  5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite frosting, such as Cool Whip or a cream cheese frosting.
