Add a photoThis is a very moist and fruity cake, and typically southern (USA), studded with many sinful pleasures, i.e., apples, coconut, pecans and golden raisins, plus a rich soaking sauce to add more calories! I like to bake it in a kugelhof pan, but a bundt or plain tube pan would work fine, too. This cake would be great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any autumn or winter day.
Ingredientes
- Cake:
- Butter, for greasing pan
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg, optional
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups peeled and finely chopped apples
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ¾ cup golden raisins, optional
- Sauce:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- (I add a teaspoon of vanilla)
Direcciones
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease a tube pan.
- For the cake: in a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg (if used) and vanilla extract; and mix well. Fold apples, coconut, golden raisins (if used)and pecans into batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Shortly before the cake is done, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda, and bring to a good rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let stand 1 hour to soak up sauce, then turn the cake out onto a rack to cool completely.

22 de Julio de 2011I am sure this is wonderful but I am in search of an icing that was used on fresh apple cake that was served to us in elementary school when the food was actually cooked from scratch not prepackaged. The icing was solid sugary with cocnut raisins and I think nuts and the only time I ever had it was in the 60's and always on the fresh apple cake. I have done numerous searches online for apple cake and nobody has used that icing. It was the best I ever tasted. Wish there was someone who knew that recipe.....
