Apple Cake for Iris

 Hi Everyone!

Iris from 

Dourble-Half or One Tne without ham 

asked the question, what is your favorite cake? She said hers would be apple. Just the other day I made an apple cake and told Iris I would print the recipe. It calls for a frosting but it doesn't need one. If you have to have something on top, try whipping cream.

OK this is not the most appetizing photo. 

This is better LOL

Seriously this cake is so good and moist that you will want to eat the whole thing in one sitting. 

Also if I make this again I will use less sugar. It's pretty sweet.

You will need;

1C butter or margarine softened

2C granulated sugar, 3 eggs, 1/2t vanilla,

2 1/2C APF (all purpose flour)

2t baking soda, 1/2t salt, 2t ground cinnamon, 3C coarsely peeled and choped apples. 1C chopped nut optional.

Preheat oven to 350°F Spray and flour a cake pan. I used a 9x13"

In a large bowl bead the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla.  Add the dry ingredients.  Mix in apples and nuts. This is a thick cake batter. Spoon into the pan and bake for about 50 minutes. Check at 40 minutes to see where the cake is. Every oven is different. Allow to cool completely before frosting or cutting. 

Hope you try it.
