Apple Cake Recipe

We had a lovely time at our visit with Tracy Kiely, author of “Murder at Longbourn” on Saturday.  In response to numerous requests…here is the recipe for the apple cake that we served at the event.

Apple Cake
From “Scoops By The Bay” Cookbook (Cape Cod Academy 1989)

2 Eggs
1 cup oil
1 ½ cups sugar
2 cups chopped apple (including skins)
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda

Beat eggs; add oil, sugar, apples and walnuts. Sift flour, salt and baking soda and add to mixture Bake at 350 degrees in a greased small tube pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check with a cake tester. (I use a brownie pan for this recipe and the baking time is more like 35 minutes, but check it often—top will be crispy but inside moist).
