Jewish Apple Cake

You’d think that with me being pregnant I’d be craving cake and lots of it.  Well, it’s the total opposite!  I’m craving salty, sour, and spicy.  I can’t get enough of grapefruit lately.  I have been on a sour kick this week so I have a bunch of granny smith apples.  I was finally craving something a little sweet, so a cake that I used to have from a supermarket came to mind.  It was called Jewish Apple Cake, then they started calling it Grandma’s Apple Cake.  Either way, I absolutely love it!

I found a recipe online and thankfully it was pretty close to what I remembered!  I added more apples and somehow added way too much OJ so I added a little flour to balance, and it turned out fine!  Phew! 🙂
Have you ever tried this type of cake?  If you like apple pie this is basically it in a cake form.  Mmm throw a little ice cream on top and you’re set!

So let’s get to the recipe.  Obviously like I stated I added a little more of things so this is slightly adapted.

Jewish Apple Cake
14 Servings – Slightly Adapted from allrecipes.com

3 1/8 Cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 1/12 Teaspoons Baking Powder
2 Cups White Sugar
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
4 Eggs
2/3 Cup Orange Juice
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
4 Apples, Peeled, Cored and Sliced
3 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
5 Teaspoons White Sugar
1 Tablespoon Butter, Chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour a 10in tube pan.

In a small bowl combine 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon and 5 teaspoons sugar, set aside.  In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, 2 cups of sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, orange juice, vanilla, and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.  Mix well.

Pour half of the batter into the tube pan, and then half of the apples and some of the cinnamon mixture.  Repeat with the batter, apples, and cinnamon.  I swirled them around to distribute the apples more.

Top with the chopped butter. 
Place into the oven for 70-90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with minimal crumbs.

  32. I made this cake and it was delish!! Very easy to make–no blender needed! However, my fan forced oven burnt the carmelisation on the last layer. To fix that, I’ll bake it @ 20 C lower temp for a about 70-80 mins or so next time. Thanks for this recipe! Everyone loved it and I’ll be making this again and again! Yum! Lisa
