I make it for Rosh Hashanah since apples are in season, it's an easy parve dessert and I always get rave reviews. It also looks pretty baked in a bundt pan and drizzled with a sugar glaze.
Apple Cake
5 apples
5 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoons water
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Slice apples, then toss with sugar and cinnamon.
3. Mix flour, sugar, salt, eggs, oil, vanilla, orange juice, baking soda and powder.
4. Mix everything together--you will have a very thick dough.
5. Grease a bundt pan--fill it like this: dough, apple, dough, apple, dough.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
After it has cooled, pour glaze over cake.
As you can see, the apples were picked with care from my favorite little apple picker!
I made this cake yesterday and it was AMAZING. So delicious, and so beguiling with its pockets of soft apple and sweet cake.
ReplyDeleteMine overflowed the bundt pan dramatically, and made all kinds of mess in the oven. (It was also impossible to remove neatly from the pan, since it had fused to the top and sides in its drama.) My family didn't mind, but next time I'd like to make a pretty one! How high up the sides would you estimate the top layer of dough should be?
Thanks!
So glad you liked the cake! My pan is 10 1/2 inches across when I measure the outside--I wonder if yours is smaller? I just follow the recipe and it always comes out maybe an inch short of the top. Thanks for writing!
