• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Nutmeg Raisin Victory Cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
