Fresh Apple Cake

Time for a recipe, how about Fresh apple cake?

Fresh Apple Cake

    2 cups sugar

    3 eggs

    1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil

    1/2 cup orange juice

    1/2 tsp. salt

    1 tsp. soda

    1/2 tsp. cinnamon

    1 cup coconut

    1 cup pecans, chopped

    1 cup finely chopped apples

    3 cups plain all-purpose flour

Stir together the sugar, eggs and oil in a large bowl. Add orange juice. Sift dry ingredients together and stir to mixture. Stir in apples, coconut and nuts. Bake at 325 degrees in a greased, floured pan for 1 hour or so (check after an hour with toothpick to come out clean.)

Now, do you really want to go over the edge??

Glaze

    Melt one stick of margarine in a pot

    Add 1 cup of sugar

    1/2 tsp baking soda

    1/2 cup of buttermilk

Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Pour over the apple cake after it is baked and while it is still in the pan. Let stand one hour then turn cake out. ENJOY!!

PS: This is a wonderful cake to bake in the small foil loaf pans with the plastic lids. Place loaf pans on a cookie sheet (minus the plastic lid of course), fill each pan about 2/3 of the way full with batter and cook probably half the time. You'll have to watch them because they will bake much faster.

or just sprinkle with powdered sugar!
