APPLE CAKE
This is the cake my mom was always begged to bring to family get-togethers! She made hers with all-purpose flour but mine tastes just as good ;)
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 cup brown sugar, packed, divided
1 1/4 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour (to make GF, use GF oat and bake in 9x13 pan)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup chopped pecans (or more)
1 stick butter
1/4 cup evaporated milk
Preheat oven to 350 (325 for nonstick pan).
Beat eggs. Add sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Beat for 3 minutes.
Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and add slowly
to creamed mixture. You will probably need to use your hands to mix in the last
of the flour and remaining ingredients. Add apples and pecans.
Bake in a greased and floured Bundt pan for 1 hour 15 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
When cake is almost done, prepare icing:
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add evaporated milk and the remaining cup of
brown sugar. Bring icing to a boil and let it boil for 2 1/2 minutes. Be
careful of it splattering as it is VERY hot!
When cake is finished cooking, flip over onto a plate. Flip again
onto serving plate or cake carrier so the cracked side is up. Gently
separate or cut down into the cake at the cracks part of the way.
Drizzle icing in cracks and on top of the cake.
*If making this cake GF, use a 9x13 pan and shorten the cooking time a bit.
