Big cinnamon-y chunks of apple nestle into a coffee cake I would call “unbelievably” moist. The cake gets better the second day, when the apples juices seep further into the cake.This apple cake, it’s some good stuff. Ingredients:
6 apples (mcintosh apples work well) |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
5 tablespoons sugar |
2 3/4 cups flour, sifted |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup vegetable oil |
2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
4 eggs |
1 cup walnuts, chopped (omit if you prefer) |
confectioners' sugar (for sprinnkling) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a tube pan.
3. Peel, core and chop apples into chunks.
4. Toss with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
5. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, orange juice, sugar and vanilla.
7. Mix wet ingredients into the dry ones, then add eggs, one at a time.
8. Scrape down the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
9. Pour half of batter into prepared pan.
10. Spread half of apples over it.
11. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and arrange the remaining apples on top.
12. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a tester comes out clean.
13. Sprinkle with confectioners suger, if desired, but I think it 'dresses it up' a bit.
