Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift together the dry ingredients. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the coffee. Start and end with flour mixture.

Stir in the diced apples, California Golden Raisins and walnuts. Spread mixture into two 9-inch square or round cake pans that are greased and lined with waxed paper.
