With the long, cold winters we have here, this recipe has warmed many a kitchen. The cake is perfect for breakfast, mealtime dessert or evening snack. I've made it for many parties, and I've always received compliments on it. Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup canola oil |
1/2 cup orange juice |
2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (about 4 to 5 apples) |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
3 tablespoons sugar |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. Combine the first three ingredients; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Combine oil and orange juice and add alternately with dry ingredients to egg mixture. Beat until smooth; add vanilla and beat well.
3. Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured tube pan. Arrange half the apples over the batter. Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle half over the apples. Top with remaining batter, apples and cinnamon/sugar.
4. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 1 hour before removing from pan. Cool, apple side up, on a wire rack. Sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
