This recipe came from Fran, a friend of my mother's, about twenty years ago. A nice butter cake, moist texture with a slight crunch to the edge, but the most important thing-do not skip the butter caramel sauce! Ingredients are correct; batter will be VERY thick. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes!) |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
2 cups sifted flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 cups chopped apples (no peel) |
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (optional) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter (no substitutes!) |
1/4 cup evaporated milk |
1/2 teaspoon rum extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in eggs one at a time.
3. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
4. Add to butter mixture.
5. Stir in apples and nuts, if desired.
6. Bake in greased bundt pan for 65-70 minutes at 325°.
7. For sauce, heat sugar, butter and evaporated milk over medium heat.
8. Add extract.
9. Chill.
10. Pass sauce with cake.
