SAMHUINN: Apple Harvest Cake
Enough for 5 small aluminum cake pans.
6 eggs
3 cups white sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups oil
9 tbsp. orange or apple juice
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2c. medium apples - pared and thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon
icing sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Prepare apples and set aside.
In a large bowl, using a whisk, beat together the liquid ingredients.
In another bowl, blend dry ingredients and then add and mix well into
wet mixture. Fold in 1/4 of the apples. To the remaining apples, add
the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon some batter into the bottom of
each non-greased aluminum pan (half the batter goes on the cake
bottom, the rest is for the top).
Arrange sliced apples on top of batter in each pan. Top with
additional spoonfuls of batter. Spread as evenly as possible, using
the back of a wet spoon. It doesn’t matter if this part is uneven -
batter spreads during baking.
Bake until done - 45-55 minutes. Test with a knife or cake tester.
When properly cooled, top with icing sugar and cinnamon.
