@Alex It's an OXO recipe for Apple Snacking Spice Cake. I just googled it and found a video of the creator of the recipe cooking it (basically an add for OXO products). It cleared nothing up, lol. In the video, she clearly creams the butter and sugar first, then combines the apples, raisins, and nuts to all of the dry ingredients/spices so that the fruit is totally coated. She then adds the coated fruit to the butter/sugar mix and mixes by hand. She doesn't mention the 2 eggs, though I assume she added them to the butter/sugar mix after they were creamed, like a normal creaming method. The written recipe (same OXO cake) is different, with the odd method I write about above.
It is A LOT of fruit.
Oh - and the Miss Florence Diner is still pretty good! Great breakfast : )
