Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 2
Prepare a 23x13cm (9x5 inch) loaf pan by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting with flour.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: This two-step process ensures the cake will not stick and will release cleanly from the pan.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 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.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 5
Pour the well-beaten eggs and warm milk into the flour mixture.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 6
Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Overmixing can develop gluten and result in a tough cake.
- 7
Gently fold in the chopped pecans and raisins.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.

Stir in the lemon extract until it is just distributed throughout the batter.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 9
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Aproximativ 1 min.

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Aproximativ 1 oră

- 11
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Aproximativ 1 oră 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooling completely before slicing ensures clean cuts and prevents the cake from crumbling.
