Fresh Apple Cake
This nutty dessert gets a sugary top and caramelized gooey bottom as it bakes.
Ingredients
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 cups sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 eggs, lightly beaten
-
1 1/4 cups canola oil or cooking oil
-
2 teaspoons vanilla
-
3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped (3 cups)
-
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
-
Sweetened whipped cream (optional)
-
Apple slices (optional)
Directions
1.
Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a very large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; make a well in center of dry mixture and set aside.
2.
In a medium bowl, combine eggs, oil and vanilla; stir in apples and nuts. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened (batter will be thick). Spread batter in prepared pan.
3.
Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. If you like, top each serving with sweetened whipped cream and an apple slice. Makes 20 servings.
