Apple Cake
Prepare a full sheet pan by spraying it with pan release spray and lining it with parchment paper. Pre heat the oven to 375°F. Sift all of the dry ingredients together and reserve. Place the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugars into a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment and cream on medium speed until light and fluffy. With the machine running on medium speed add the eggs one at a time. Stop the machine and scrape down the bowl. Continue to mix in medium speed for one minute. Stop the machine and add 1/2 of the sifted flour.Mix on low speed until combined and add 1/2 of the Ponthier Apple Purée. Mix again on low speed and when combined add the rest of the flour, and when combined the rest of the Ponthier Apple Purée. Add the raisins and nuts and mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
Crumb Topping
Place the butter and Apple Crisp Mix in the machine with the paddle and mix on medium speed just until the mixture is crumbly.
Setting
Pour the cake batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread out even. Sprinkle the Apple Crisp mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter and place the cake into the pre heated oven. Bake until the center of the cake springs back when gently pressed, about 20 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely and turn it out onto a board. Trim off the edges and cut the sheet 10 x 12 to yield 120 pieces. Before serving dust with powdered sugar.
