My sister made an apple cake the other day from a recipe she found on line. Being fall, there is currently an abundance of apples to bake with. This cake is light and the topping adds a nice crunch. The perfect cake to serve for company as it makes a 9" x 13" cake.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped nuts (ie. pecans or walnuts)
For cake, cream together butter, sugar. Add eggs, and vanilla and beat till well blended.
Stir in dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Fold in chopped apples and nuts.
Pour into a 9" by 13" greased pan. Make topping (see below) and sprinkle over cake.
Bake in 350 oven for 40 minutes.
Cool, serve with whipped topping and a drizzle of caramel sauce if you like
Topping:
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tsp flour
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup coconut
- 1/4 cup toffee bits
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- Crumble this together and sprinkle over cake batter.
