Apple Cake


We have been making apple cake all week so I thought someone might be interested in the recipe.  The recipe that I use at home is from Saveur, and the cake that I make at school is a based on this recipe. http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Apple-Bundt-Cake

When we bake it school it is not very precise, maybe one group uses 1 cup of apples and another group uses 1 1/2 cups depending on how much grated apple stays on the table and how much goes into the batter so this recipe is more a guide then a strict formula.


2 Cups  Flour
1  teaspoon baking soda
1  teaspoon baking powder
1  teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
3/4 sugar

2 eggs
3 - 4  grated apples

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another.  Mix the wet into the dry, the batter can be stiff, pour or scrape into a greased 9" x 12" pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until it feels firm and pulls away from the sides a little.

APPLES



Kids usually like to eat apples, we made it extra fun by covering our apple slices with whipped ricotta and honey and using raisins and grapes for features.
