    Default Looking For An Apple Cake Recipe

    Howdy y'all. :c)

    My mother used to make an apple cake that was the bomb! I've searched online for the recipe, but haven't found one that seems right. It had grated apples, coconut, black walnuts, and raisins in it. She always frosted it with the coconut frosting you would use on a German chocolate cake. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Please help if you can. I'd sure appreciate it! :c)

    Have you tried cooks.com? Here is one from them. I just searched "apple coconut cake" on their web site. Don't know about the frosting. This one has the grated apples, but, it doesn't call for raisins. Good Luck!

    APPLE-COCONUT CAKE
    Printed from COOKS.COM
    [HR][/HR]1 c. sugar
    2 c. unpeeled grated apples
    1 1/2 c. flour
    1 tsp. soda
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 c. cooking oil
    1 egg, beaten
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1/2 c. nuts
    1/2 c. coconut


    Pour sugar over apples; let stand until juice is formed. Combine flour, soda and salt. Add oil, egg, vanilla, nuts, coconut and apples. Mix well and pour in 9"x9" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. May be served with glaze or with ice cream. Yield: 9 servings.

    I just made this cake yesterday. Haven't baked in awhile, but my husband was in the mood for the apple cake. I add more apples. I used about 8 apples which is about 10 cups. This is a moist cake.

    Default Apple bread or muffins

    APPLE BREAD OR MUFFINS

    3/4 cup salad oil
    3 eggs, beaten
    2 cups sugar
    3 cups flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 cup chopped nuts ( I use walnuts)
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 Tbsp. vanilla
    2 cups chopped apples


    Mix with spoon. Bake in a greased tube pan for 60-90 minutes at 350 degrees.
    OR
    Makes 12 Texas sized muffins---bake for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees.

    The great thing about this recipe is that you don't even have to get the mixer dirty and you can use apples that are getting old and no one will eat anymore. (Sorry guys,,,but that is what I use).

    THESE ARE DELICIOUS!!!!!

    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!
