Keeping It Clean

It has taken a few years, but I finally wangled this apple cake recipe out of my good friend, Devorah Gable. Devy's family and mine agree, it is fabulous! She says it is very easy, too!

Oil a 10" tube pan with a paper towel and vegetable oil. Dust oiled pan with cake meal.

Peel and cube

• 5 apples

Mix

• 6 large or extra large WHOLE eggs
• 2 c white sugar

Beat into the egg mixture

• 3/4 c vegetable oil

Stir into the wet ingredients

• 1 3/4 c cake meal

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, pour the apples evenly over the batter, top with remaining cake batter. Run a knife through the two mixtures to swirl the apples slightly.

Bake cake at 325° for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Cool completely in the pan. Run a knife or spatula around the sides of the pan; loosen the bottom of the cake from the tube in the same way. Lift off the tube onto a serving plate (an extra pair of helping hands is really good here).

This cake freezes well when wrapped well in heavy foil.
