Derek's aunt sent me a recipe a couple weeks ago for an Apple Pear Cake to help use up the tons of apples we had from the orchard. She had previously modified it to just be Apple Cake and so I followed in her footsteps.
This cake turned out EXTREMELY moist and delicious which means only one thing; I must post the recipe and share with the world.
Ingredients
4 c finely chopped peeled apples.
2 c sugar
1 c canola oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
Directions (I would suggest using a large kitchenaid mixer as opposed to a hand-held!)
1. Combine oil, sugar, and eggs.
2. Mix well , add vanilla chopped apples and mix.
3. Add all dry ingredients, after being sifted together, and mix until thoroughly combined.
* You can also add ½ cup raisins and ½ cup pecans.
4. Bake in a 10x15 jelly roll pan at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
5. Frost with cream cheese icing or leave plain.
HAPPY FALL EATING!
Hi, I just wanted to share that I tried this recipe and it came out great! I added a little clove, plus raisins and walnuts instead of pecans, although pecans would have been lovely. Also I must admit that I only had 1/4 cup of canola oil left, so I used olive oil to make up the balance! It sounds crazy but it was actually quite delicious! Thank you and happy winter!
