DEE MARSZALEK'S APPLE CAKE Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups sugar 3 eggs 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup oil (veg or extra lite olive) 1 cup chopped nuts 5 apples, pared, cut into chunks Directions: Beat sugar and eggs until well mixed. Add vanilla and mix well. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into sugar-egg mixture. Mix well. Add 1 cup of oil and mix well. Add nuts and apple chunks. Batter will be very thick. (I find adding one apple at a time is easier). Spoon into 9x13 pan (greased lightly). Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Note: You will be able to use a mixer for most mixing, but you will have to mix by hand when adding nuts and apples. Dee Marszalek
