Great Ideas for the Holiday
My DH and I love this cake. Not to sweet but not dull. Its a great cake to have wtih hot coco or coffee! I am new to this page and thought i would pass along this great idea for dessert. Its super easy to make from scratch!
APPLE CAKE
o 3 LARGE EGGS
o 2 CUPS OF SUGAR
o 1 CUP VEG.OIL OR BUTTER (I USED COUNTRY CROCK LIGHT)
o 2 TEASPOONS VANILLA EXTRACT
CREAM THE ABOVE INGRIDENTS WITH MIXER (MEDIUM SPEED)
o 3 CUPS OF FLOUR
o 1 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
o 1 TEASPOON SALT
o 2 TEASPOON CINNAMON
STIR TOGETHER UNTIL WELL MIXED, POUR INTO ABOVE
BATTER GRADUALLY. UNITL WELL MIXED WITH MIXER,
IF THE BATTER GETS HARD, ADD MILK TO SOFTEN MIXTURE.
o PEEL APPROXIMATLEY 3 TO 4 APPLES DEPENDING ON SIZE
o REMOVE CORE OF THE APPLE
o CUT INTO PIECES (APPROX 4 CUPS)
POUR APPLES INTO MIXED BATTER, AND MIX WITH A SPOON (DO NOT USE MIXER!!!)
ADD PECANS OR WALNUTS DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE
OR BOTH AND ONLY MIX WITH THE SPOON. NO MIXER!!!!
POUR INTO A 11 X 13 LIGHTLY GREASED PAN AND BAKE AT 350
DEGREES FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HR, (EVERY OVEN IS DIFFERENT)
MY PREFERENCE IS WALNUTS.
ENJOY???.GREAT FOR THE HOLIDAYS OR ANYTIME.
Re: Great Ideas for the Holiday
Is this a pretty flakey cake or rather dense? (Does that make sense?) The reason I ask is because when I was little, my mom had this amazing apple cake recipe that everyone loved. But, she lost it and I haven't been able to recreate it. I was just wondering if this could be similar. She made hers in a bundt pan, do you think this would hold up in that type of pan?
Thanks for posting!
