Fresh Apple Cake

By Andri Ansyah
Today I'm baking and my kitchen smells like apples and cinnamon. I'm baking a Fresh Apple Cake using a recipe from a cookbook that I've had since 1980, a cookbook published by the Women for Crowley's Ridge College. Print Recipe Fresh Apple Cake 1 1/2 cups cooking oil 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 eggs, well beaten 3 cups chopped tart apples 3 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup chopped walnuts Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, then assemble the ingredients that you will need. This cake uses very standard ingredients that are pantry staples. The only thing that I have changed about the recipe is that I added the nuts. The original recipe did not call for walnuts. I think apples and walnuts just belong together, so I always add nuts to my cake, but you can make them optional if you choose. The recipe calls for tart apples. Any variety of tart apple that you like is fine for this recipe. Today I am using Granny Smith apples. This variety is also great for baking apple pies. Peel the apples . . . . . . and chop enough for 3 cups. If the apples are large, it may only take 2 apples to make 3 cups of chopped apples. Next, we'll start mixing the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Then add 2 well beaten eggs to the mixture. Stir to combine. Blend the diced apples into the mixture. In a separate bowl . . . . . . sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the apple mixture. Stir until flour is well blended. Chop enough walnuts to make 1 cup. Add walnuts to mixture; stir. The batter will be thick. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 300 degrees F for a looooong time, usually about 1 hour 20 minutes. Check with a toothpick and bake a few minutes longer if needed. I know all ovens are not created equal, so just check on it. It may look done, when it fact it is not quite. Remove from the oven; cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then invert pan over cake plate to remove cake from pan. Allow to cool, then slice and serve. This is moist, delicious cake. If your family likes apples, this is one to try.
