Sometimes healthy cooking is over-rated! There are times (like Thanksgiving) that calorie counting goes out the window and we just want to make what is good. This apple cake fits that definition. Hubby and I can polish this off in a day or two--it goes great with coffee, for breakfast, or just as a mid-day/late-night/any-time snack! I am not even going to pretend I know how many points are in this because I don't. Anyhow, enjoy, cause this cake is amazing!
Apple Cake
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. white sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/4 c. orange juice
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 tbs. lemon juice
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
5 tsp. white sugar
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour one 10-inch tube or bundt pan. Using an apple cutter, slice apples, then cut each section lengthwise into thirds. Mix apples with lemon juice. Combine the ground cinnamon and 5 tsp. of the sugar together and mix with apple/lemon mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and 2 cups of the sugar. In a separate bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, beaten eggs, orange juice and vanilla. Combine both wet and dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Top with half of the sliced apples. Pour the remaining batter over the top and layer the remaining sliced apples.
Bake at 350F for 45 to 70 minutes. Cake is done when no batter comes out on the test stick.
