Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

    Uns 5 min

  2. 2

    Prepare a 23x13cm (9x5 inch) loaf pan by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting with flour.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: This two-step process ensures the cake will not stick and will release cleanly from the pan.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Uns 1 min

  4. 4

    Add the softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Uns 3 min

  5. 5

    Pour the well-beaten eggs and warm milk into the flour mixture.

    Uns 1 min

  6. 6

    Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: Overmixing can develop gluten and result in a tough cake.

  7. 7

    Gently fold in the chopped pecans and raisins.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: Tossing the raisins and nuts in a spoonful of flour before adding them can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

  8. 8

    Stir in the lemon extract until it is just distributed throughout the batter.

    Uns 1 min

  9. 9

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.

    Uns 1 min

  10. 10

    Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

    Uns 1 h

    Nota de cuina: Check the cake around the 55-minute mark, as oven temperatures can vary.

  11. 11

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

    Uns 1 h 10 min

    Nota de cuina: Cooling completely before slicing ensures clean cuts and prevents the cake from crumbling.
