Easy Apple Cake

Shh... Don't tell anyone. This cake is super easy to make and everyone will love it.

I love easy recipes with "normal" ingredients. This cake is a family favourite and makes its rounds to birthdays, cottages and any extended family gathering. Anybody who knows us, knows we never have just one cake. You could call an apple cake the supporting cast where Black Forest Cake  is the star of the show.  (If you ask my son, he will tell you apple cake is the star.) I got this great recipe from my mother in-law.

Here it is:

4 cups diced apples

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 1\4 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

Topping

2-3 tsp white sugar

2-3 tsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Grease a 9 X 13 baking pan with butter.  Mix eggs, sugar and oil until fluffy. Add flour and baking powder. Fold apples under.  Sprinkle entire cake with topping. Bake for 1/2 hour in a preheated oven at 325-350 degrees.

Cut into squares and top with whipped cream if you like. It's so good you won't need it though.

The hardest part of this cake is looking at your batter after you add the apples. It will look like there are way too many apples for this to turn out, but it does!
