Keltik Cake!
This is a favorite of the Detroit Knotties… MIL and I made it for New Year’s - we loved it! Very easy to do!
Apple Love Cake
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups peeled, diced apples (approximately 1 inch chunks are recommended, we used frozen sliced apples.)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional- we skipped them)
(This works best with a kitchen aid)
Mix all ingredients until batter is smooth. (We put the mixer on the lowest setting and added each ingredient one at a time, then let all mix for approximately 2-3 minutes.)
Bake in greased (Pam works well) 13×9×2 cake pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes-use toothpick test.
Caramel Icing
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar-firmly packed
½ cup milk
Bring up to simmer. Cook 3 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature, and add:
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (optional- again, we skipped them)
Beat until smooth. Spread. (It will be THIN, but it ends up being the perfect amount!)
