3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup oil
2 1/2 teaspoons real vanilla
4 large eggs, unbeaten
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
4 large apples, peeled, and sliced
4 teaspoons cinnamon
5 tablespoons sugar, separated (**keep from the other sugar**)

Steps:

  • Layer the batter and apples in a greased tube pan.
  • **pour some batter--then layer it with apples--then switch back and forth until it is all used up**.
  • Bake in oven at 350° for 1 1/2 hours to 1 3/4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give the cake a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
