The girls and boys in my junior high home economics classes like this cake because it's not too sweet. I like it because it has high fiber and nutritional valuethe apples are used unpeeled. Parents who have apple trees are always glad to donate the apples! Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 cup vegetable oil |
2 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups grated apples |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup raisins |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts |

1 cup butter, cubed |
5 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup milk |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup broken walnuts |
Directions:
1. Beat eggs and oil together in a bowl until foamy; add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat. Add apples, beating slightly; set aside. Sift together flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves; add raisins and walnuts to flour mixture. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; beat slightly. Bake at 350° in greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
