A moist, deeply flavored confection studded with rum-soaked raisins and crunchy pecans, this streamlined one-bowl cake will get compliments even for novice bakers. Plus, it keeps for days. To dress up each serving, why not use store-bought eggnog, which has the consistency of custard sauce.

Test-Kitchen Tips

•Even if your bundt pan is nonstick, it's a good idea to butter and flour it to help the cake unmold smoothly.
•Golden Delicious apples are sweet and hold their shape nicely when cooked. Do not substitute Granny Smith apples in this recipe, as they are too tart and have a gray color when baked.
