How to Make Apple Butter Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup apple butter, ½ cup chopped pecans, and ½ cup raisins.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Frost with your favorite coconut-pecan frosting (canned frosting is recommended for convenience).
