Baked a big apple and walnut cake for my husband to take on the road, and share with his buddies
Apple and walnut Bread
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup juice of your choice( I use apple or orange juice)
1 cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
Two teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix eggs and sugar until fluffy and lite in color
Add oil, juice and vanilla.
Sift together flour salt and baking powder
After sifting add into batter. Set aside until needed
Filling
2 cups Granny Smith apples diced
1/2 cup lite brown sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla
2 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter room temperature
1 Teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream.
Whip butter and powdered sugar add vanilla and little by little add the milk. Whip till smooth use on cooled cake otherwise it will melt.
Mix apples, walnuts, vanilla and all spices with the brown sugar .
When making the cake first butter or oil the baking pan. I usually use a Bundt pan , or a 9 by 3 or even a 10 by 3
The rotation is batter, filling batter filling.
Bake at 350 for about 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after testing
After cake is completely cooled I usually like to ice it or powder it with sugar.
Thank you
