I like to think it is a sophisticated cake to have with tea or with some ice cream and stewed apples for dessert. Whenever I bake this, I usually leave out the dates and pecans because I never buy them. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 tablespoon baking soda |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 cup apple juice |
1/4 cup honey |
1 cup brown sugar, packed |
3 apples, peeled and grated |
1 1/2 cups dates, coarsely chopped |
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside.
3. Beat the eggs until they are creamy and pale, add the oil in a slow, steady stream while beating. Add the apple juice, honey, brown sugar and apples. Mix well. Beat in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then stir in the dates and pecans.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center coms out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then unmould.
5. Serve the cake warm with a scoop of ice cream and, if possible, some stewed apples.
