Here’s a favorite recipe given to me by a lawyer friend many years ago when we live in the beautiful state of New Mexico. It is delicious, practically foolproof, and a treat to serve guest. Enjoy.

 

 

FRESH APPLE CAKE

 

Preheat & bake at 350º.  Grease and flour pan.

 

1¼ cups vegetable oil                                                                             3 cups All-Purpose flour

2 cups sugar                                                                                                 1 teaspoon soda

3 eggs                                                                                                               ½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla                                                                                       1 teaspoon cinnamon

 

3 cups diced apples (Jonathans, Granny Smiths are good)

1¼ cups of chopped pecans

 

Mix ingredients at left.  Add dry ingredients.  Blend in apples and nuts.  Baking time: 1 hour in flat pan.  1½ in Bundt pan.  Check for doneness with clean knife or skewer after cake starts to look done.

 

Cool completely.  Goes well with fresh whipped cream.
