Recipe Instructions

Lightly butter cake pan. Toss apples, raisins and any rum, with melted butter, 1/4 cup of the sugar and cinnamon. The pan should be about 3/4 full.

For the batter: With an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks. Combine the flour and the baking powder together and alternately beat in with milk until just combined.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt until they form stiff but not dry peaks. Carefully fold into batter and then pour the batter over the apples taking care not to deflate. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and nutmeg over top.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden and the apple mixture is bubbling. Cool on a rack and serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of sweetened yogurt or creme fraiche.
