This recipe is a family favorite, passed down through the generations. In fact, it is over 100 years old. The original slip of paper, though torn and tattered - is priceless to me. There have been very minor adjustments, from the original.
Birdie's Fresh Apple Cake
2 Cups sugar
3 Cups flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1 Cup finely chopped pecans
1 Cup Wesson oil
3 eggs
3 apples (finely chopped, med-large size Red Delicious)
1 tsp vanilla
Mix flour, soda, salt and sugar together. Add pecans, eggs, vanilla, Wesson oil and apples. Beat gently at medium-speed with electric mixer.
Bake at 350 in a bundt pan with PAM or equivalent butter spray, for one hour.
Moist and yummy, and does not require a frosting. I would love to hear your thoughts, and perhaps this will be one you also pass down to your friends and family.
