Rob's Apple Cake

Recipe courtesy of Melinda Bandy

Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2-1/4 cups sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 4 medium baking apples, peeled and thinly slices
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Butter a Bundt pan.

  2. Combine flour, 2 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well.

  4. Toss the apples into a bowl with the cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.

  5. Spread 1/3 of the batter into the Bundt pan. Top with half of the apples. Repeat. Spread the last 1/3 of the batter over the apples.

  6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

  7. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then remove to a wire rack.

Cinnamon & Sugar's Note:

  1. While this cake doesn't really need any extra garnish, I still made a thick icing flavored with vanilla to drizzle on top: 3/4 cup powdered sugar mixed with 2-1/2 teaspoons water, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
