"My go-to recipe when a non-frosted, somewhat rustic but of course delicious cake is needed. I have a wonderful cake mold that looks like a circle of fir trees which I sprinkle with powdered sugar to make them look "snowy." But the cake works in any mold or spring form as long as it's well-greased. Sun Maid may be the source."

ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 ¹⁄₄ cups sugar
1 tablespoon orange peel, grated
3 eggs
2 ¹⁄₂ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¹⁄₄ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup yogurt, Greek
1 cup apple, cooking type, chopped
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, chopped
powdered sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease (very well) a 10" springform pan with tube inset, or other similarly sized mold.
Cream butter, sugar & orange peel until fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Combine dry ingredients in one bowl & yogurt & apples in another.
Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the yogurt/apple mixture.
Stir in the raisins & nuts.
Turn the batter into the prepared pan & bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Let stand for 10 minutes on a rack before turning out to cool.
May be served with whipped cream & a garnish of sliced oranges but we like it simply sprinkled with powdered sugar.
