Harvest Spice Cake - cooking recipe

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)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0. 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.
