Broadway Cafe Apple Cake
Cool: 1 hr 15 mins
Bake: 1 hr at 350°F
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups peeled and chopped Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup cooking oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
1. Allow eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease and lightly flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In another bowl toss apples with lemon juice; set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in apples and pecans. (Batter will be thick.) Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 1 hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully remove from pan. Cool thoroughly on wire rack. If you like, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cover; store in refrigerator. Makes 12 servings.
I did not think this cake was as moist as it should have been. However, several guests thought it was great. As for me, I will stick with my old tried and true family recipe for Apple Cake.
