OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR FROSTING FROM KAF
This came from a King Arthur Flour site and says: "This cake is an old, old favorite of ours. It's a cake where the whole is definitely more than the sum of the parts. The moist, semi-chunky cake, spread with the frosting equivalent of brown sugar fudge, is perfect served with a cup of coffee or, better still, a glass of ice-cold milk." Not the prettiest cake I've made, but OMG - the flavor is all over it, pretty sure to make my families favorite list

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F Grease and flour a 9" x 13" pan.
- 2) To make the cake: Mix all of the ingredients except the apples and nuts in a large bowl.
- 3) Beat until well combined; the mixture will be very stiff, and may even be crumbly.
- 4) Add the apples and nuts, and mix until the apples release some of their juice and the stiff mixture becomes a thick batter, somewhere between cookie dough and brownie batter in consistency.
- 5) Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing it with your wet fingers.
- 6) Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few wet crumbs clinging to it.
- 7) Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a rack to cool completely; don't remove the cake from the pan.
- 8) To make the frosting: Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and salt and cook, stirring, until the sugar melts.
- 9) Add the milk, bring to a boil, and pour into a mixing bowl to cool for 10 minutes.
- 10) After 10 minutes, stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat well; if the mixture appears too thin, add more confectioners' sugar. Spread on the cake while frosting is still warm.
