2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup orange juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan.
  • Mix apples, 5 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Beat the oil and 2 cups of sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for a balanced flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too mushy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend well into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Bubba's Jewish apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender crumb, sweet and tart apples, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this recipe a try.
