Fresh Apple Cake is one of my favorite cakes to make during the holidays.
Fresh Apple Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 3 cups Granny Smith apples, diced
- 1 cup coconut
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour tube pan.
- Place oil and sugar in a mixing bowl and blend with mixer.
- Add eggs one at a time and beat each egg into the oil and sugar mixture.
- Add salt, baking soda, cinnamon and vanilla.
- Add flour, one cup at a time, stirring to combine and then fold in walnuts, apples and coconut.
- Pour batter into a tube pan that has been greased and floured.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Ovens vary in temperature, so watch the cake carefully so it will not burn. A knife should not "come out clean" when baking this cake. It should have a little of the moistness of the cake batter on it. If the knife comes out clean then the cake will be dry.
- To make sauce to pour over cake: In a large saucepan combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 buttermilk, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Bring to a rapid bowl stirring constantly (about 2 minutes).
- Pour sauce over cake while cake is still in the pan. Run a knife around the pan to make sure sauce seeps down sides and around hole in the middle. Wait for sauce to seep into cake.
- Let cake cool in the pan for an hour and a half before turning out onto a cake plate. Let cool 2 to 3 hours.
A friend of mine makes the BEST Apple Cider Caramels. These luscious caramels get their tangy sweetness from apple cider with just a hint of sea salt. Find the recipe HERE.
