This apple cake uses fresh apples, walnuts, and optional raisins. It is a 9 x 13-inch cake, so it makes enough for a crowd.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups chopped baking apples (Granny Smith, Rome, McIntosh, winesap, etc.)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes, drained, and patted dry - optional

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

Place oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat on low speed until combined. Add flour mixture, and beat just until combined. Fold in apples, walnuts, and optional raisins.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until cake tests done with a toothpick.

Yield: about 24 servings, depending on cut size

"I made this to use up some apples I had around, and not only did my family rave over it, but so did the people at work. I will definately make this again."
