Cinnamon Nut Delight Bake

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir until ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Prepare Nut and Raisin Mixture:
Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts and 1/2 cup of raisins into the dry mixture. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, blend 1/4 cup melted butter with 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a thick batter.

5. Spread Batter:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.

6. Prepare Topping:
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat on medium until the sugar is dissolved, making a light syrup.

7. Add Syrup:
Evenly pour the warm brown sugar syrup over the batter in your baking dish. This will form a delicious caramel sauce as it bakes.

8. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Serve:
Allow the dessert to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This cooling time allows the syrup to set into a rich sauce underneath each slice.
