This was my mother-in-law's recipe. I've made this often -- it is sooooo moist!!
2 cups flour 2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, at room temperature 1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups peeled, cored, grated apples 2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups corn oil
Mix all dry ingredients; add apples. Add oil and vanilla. Blend well. Pour batter into a tube or bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
FROSTING
1 stick butter 1 box (pound) powdered sugar
1 8-ounvce cream cheese, at room temp 1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream cheese and butter; add vanilla, sugar, and pecans. This very generously ices the cake. I have also made this in a 9 x 13 inch pan adjusting cooking time. Great birthday cake!
