Apple/Pear Cake

I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. I cut the recipe portions in half, reduced the butter, and he used the cake mix which I always have on hand. It turned out so moist and delicious.

Ingredients:
1 cup shredded peeled tart apples
1 cup shredded peeled pears
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup raisins
2 eggs
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 ½ cups cake mix
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice

Store-bought cream cheese frosting

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Butter and flour an 8” x 8” cake pan

Combine cake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice in a bowl and set aside

In a mixer bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla and melted coconut-butter until light and fluffy.

Gradually stir in flour mixture.

Fold in the shredded apple-pear, raisins, and chopped nuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool completely before frosting.
