The apple and raisin cake is a very simple pantry dessert, with a soft and moist texture inside, almost melting in the mouth. With just a few pantry ingredients, we’ll get a wholesome snack. Moreover, this cake can also be made with rice flour, making it naturally lactose-free. I also recommend the apple cake with oil, simple and light, while the more indulgent ones might try the apple cake with mascarpone.
