Recipe Summary Mom's Favorite Jewish Apple Cake

I've been making this cake for over 30 years, and always get great compliments from it. Even my sweets-hating husband likes this one. I've been making it for my mother's birthday for years...it's her favorite. It's a dense cake with great flavor, so if you're looking for a light, fluffy cake, this is not for you!

Ingredients | Apple Cake Apple Dessert Recipes

5 tablespoons white sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

5 medium apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups white sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

½ cup orange juice

4 large eggs

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

Mix 5 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add apple slices and toss to coat.

Mix flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, orange juice, eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract together in another bowl and beat until smooth and thoroughly blended. Batter will be thick.

Place 1/2 of the batter in the prepared tube pan. Top with 1/2 of the apple slices. Add remaining batter to the pan, and neatly arrange remaining apple slices on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 1 hour. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Use your choice of apples....Granny Smith for a more tart taste, or any firm apple that will hold its shape during baking.

You can use canola oil instead of vegetable oil.
