The apple and raisin cake is a classic pantry cake, very simple, with a soft and moist crumb that almost melts in your mouth. With a few ingredients you already have in the pantry you’ll get a wholesome snack. This cake can also be made with rice flour to make it naturally gluten-free. I also recommend the oil-based apple cake, simple and light, while those with a sweet tooth can try the mascarpone apple cake.
