Nutty Apple Spice Cake Cake: 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3 cups diced Granny Smith apple (about 3/4 pound) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted Cooking spray Sauce: 1/3 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup dark rum or apple juice 1 (12.25-ounce) bottle fat-free butterscotch topping Preheat oven to 350F. To prepare cake, beat sugar, oil, and eggs at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, beating just until blended. Fold in apple and walnuts. Pour batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350F for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Run a knife around outside edge; cool. To prepare sauce, combine raisins and rum in a microwave-safe bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in butterscotch topping; microwave on high 45 seconds or until hot. Serve cake with sauce. Yield: 16 servings. Note: Cake will keep for several days in an airtight container, but the crunchy top will soften.
