Apple Butter Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/3 cup butter, softened
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1 1/4 cups apple butter
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.
    Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.
    Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a separate large bowl until smooth. Add the egg and apple butter; continue beating until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the raisins and walnuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
