Earlier this summer, I got together with some old work colleagues for a Sunday Brunch! It was great to see everyone and try out everyone’s favorite breakfast recipes! I decided to make a spiced coffee cake! I created it by adapting my carrot cake recipe. I took the basics of the old recipe I made before, took out the carrots, baked it in a different type of pan, and sprinkled powdered sugar on top instead of icing it with cream cheese icing like I did before. It is so nice to be able to change these couple little things and come up with a whole new cake!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- Powdered sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Grease a bundt pan with butter.
- Mix the first 8 ingredients for your cake together in a mixing bowl (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla).
- Blend ingredients for one minute on low speed.
- Switch to medium speed and blend for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in your walnuts, and raisins.
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Place pan into the oven and bake at 325° for about 50-55 minutes (until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean).
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Remove cake from the pan once cooled and sprinkle powdered sugar on the top of your cake.
