Old Fashioned Apple Cake
By: Gigi Howe
I haven’t made this cake in a few years but for some reason its been on my mind the past week or so. Probably has to do with all the apples coming into season and visiting a pick your own apple farm 😉 It is that time of year! I decided that I’m going to make this cake this weekend. Its delicious. Nice and moist.. not too sweet, just right. Its made from scratch but its really simple to put together. Let me know if you make it also and how you like it!
Old Fashioned Apple Cake
Ingredients:
– 6 large apples – any variety or mix will do. I usually use delicious.
– 2 teaspoons cinnamon
– 5 tablespoons sugar
– 3 cups flour
– 2 1/2 cups sugar
– 1 cup oil (I like to use canola)
– 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 4 eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup orange juice
Directions:
1. Peel and slice apples, mix with cinnamon and 5 tablespoons of sugar. Let sit for 2 or more hours.
2. In a separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients mix well.
3. Lightly grease a large angel food pan. Put one layer of batter into the pan, then layer apples, then batter, etc. Repeat so you have 3 layers of the batter and 3 layers of apples. Make sure you end with a layer of apples on top.
4. Bake at 350 for 1 3/4 – 2 hours. Test with cake tester or toothpick to make sure the cake is done.
Enjoy!!
