This moist cake is perfect for brunch. It gets its appeal from big chunks of sweet apples, nutty flavor and creamy frosting. The recipe, originally my mom's, is a unique harvest treat. Ingredients:
1-2/3 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4 cups chopped unpeeled apples |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
frosting |
2 packages (3 ounce each) cream cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs. Add oil and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to sugar mixture, mixing well. Stir in apples and walnuts. Pour into a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
2. For frosting, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually add confectioners' sugar until the frosting has reached desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cake. Yield: 16-20 servings.
