Grandmas Apple Cake Is Easier than Pie!
Grandmas Apple Cake Ingredients: 1-2/3 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 2 Tablespoons canola oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all- purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon salt 6 cups chopped and peeled tart apples (I use Macintosh)(about 3 medium apples) 1/2 cup pecans Apple Cake Frosting Ingredients: 4 ounces cream cheese 2 Tablespoons butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup confectioners' sugar
1) In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, applesauce, oil and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; add to the applesauce mixture and beat until combined. Fold in apples and pecans. 2) Transfer to a 13-inch X 9-inch baking dish coated with a nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake on a wire rack. 3) For frosting, combine cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar (mixture will be soft). Spread over cooled cake.
