This weekend we were invited to a block party in our new neighborhood in Marion, MA. We were asked to bring desserts or appetizers (along with drinks and folding chairs.) I made this cake and was disappointed when the party was postponed due to drenching rains. As consolation, Gerry and I enjoyed a small piece of cake after dinner Saturday night and he'll bring the rest of it into work tomorrow. I'm sure everyone will love it. It was as good as ever.
Glaze the cake with any sweet glaze. I used about a cup of confectioner's sugar with a tablespoon of milk and black walnut extract.
Peel and chunk five cups of apples. In a large bowl coat them with 1 T. fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar. Set them aside as early as a day before (in a Ziploc bag in the frig.)
Be sure to liberally grease the bundt pan with PAM - the Baking option. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. (Convection is fine.)
Wet: 2/3 cup cooking oil, 3 eggs and 2 cups sugar.
Dry: 3 c. flour, 3 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. nutmeg.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil and eggs, mixing well. Add apple chunks with a spoon.
Mix the dry ingredients separately and add with a spoon or spatula to the sugar/oil/egg/apple mix until well mixed.
Pour into the pan and bake 55-60 minutes until a cake tester (or wooden pick) comes out clean.
Cool in pan 10 minutes and turn out.
Cool before glazing.
