This recipe is one that my mother-in-law has made for years, and it’s my daughter’s AND my son-in-law’s favorite. As my daughter says, “It is OH SO GOOD!” Not too difficult to make - and delicious and moist.
FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups oil
1 cup nuts, chopped finely
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp. soda
3 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups apples (peeled, chopped finely)
Preheat over to 350. Grease three 9-inch round cake pans with Crisco and flour. (I always line the pans with waxed paper, too).
Combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla. Beat well. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar/eggs mixture. Finally add the apples and nuts. Mix well.
Pour into the cake pans and cook for approx. 30 minutes. You can also make this in a bundt pan and cook for an hour. (My daughter’s note: “It is the icing that is so good and you get less icing if you use a bundt pan).
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 oz. cream cheese
1 stick butter
1 cup finely chopped nuts
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 box powdered sugar
Let the cream cheese and butter soften. Add the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until well mixed. Add the nuts.
Once the cake layers have cooled, spread the frosting on them - one layer at time. VOILA! Delicious!
