Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your batter bakes evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.

Mixing the Batter

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well mixed.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 6

    Add Flavor Enhancements

    Fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries or raisins until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 7

    Pour Batter into Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Glazing

  1. 9

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.

  2. 10

    Glaze the Cake

    Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
