Ingredients
APPLE SNACK CAKE
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Red Delicious apples
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix the oil, sugar, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir in the flour and baking soda.
- Peel and chop the apples fairly small (I use my food processor)
- Stir in the apples and nuts until well mixed.
- Spray a 9" cake pan with cooking spray AND line the bottom with parchment paper, then spray it again. If you do this, the baked cake will pop right out of the pan.
- Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 35-40 minutes (test for done-ness with toothpick). My electric oven takes exactly 35 minutes.
- Let the baked cake sit IN pan for 20 minutes before you turn it out.
- Cool the cake completely, then frost.
Ingredients
CARAMEL FROSTING
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk*
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the brown sugar and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down so that it boils softly for 1 minute, whisking the whole time.
- Remove from heat (add the vanilla) and keep whisking until it starts to thicken up just a little (you can do this step with your electric hand mixer if you want).
- Keep in mind, that as the frosting cools, it will thicken even more. Let cake and frosting cool completely before cutting the cake.
NOTE: If you don't have evaporated milk, I would think that whipping cream would work just as well (but I haven't tried it that way).
