Our part of Pennsylvania is known as Apple Country . This cake is one of my family's favorites. It's great for a lunch box treat. Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
2 cups plus 5 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1 cup vegetable oil |
4 eggs |
1/3 cup orange juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 2 cups of the sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, salt and vanilla. Beat until thoroughly combined. In another bowl, toss apples with cinnamon and remaining sugar. Spread one-third of batter in a greased 10-in. tube pan. Cover with half of the apples. Repeat layers. Spoon remaining batter over top.
2. Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
