This is one of my most popular cakes. I just made one for a neighbor in a Cathedral style bundt pan with a simple glaze (confectioners sugar, cream, and vanilla) and sprinkled it with orange sugar. It looked really nice!

Jewish Apple Cake




Original recipe makes 1 -10 inch tube cake

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups white sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup orange juice

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 apples - peeled, cored and sliced

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

5 teaspoons white sugar


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan. Combine the ground cinnamon and 5 teaspoons of the sugar together and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and 2 cups of the sugar. Stir in the vegetable oil, beaten eggs, orange juice and vanilla. Mix well.

Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Top with 1/2 of the sliced apples and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon sugar mixture; repeat. Pour the remaining batter over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 70 to 90 minutes.
