Ingredients

• Cake Ingredients:
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (225 ml) corn oil (canola, blends or vegetable oils are fine)
• 2 cups (475 ml) sugar
• 2 cups (475 ml) flour
• 2 tsp (10 ml) ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp (5 ml) soda
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
• 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
• 4 cups (950 ml) thinly sliced apples
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped nuts
• Icing Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) butter, cool room temperature
• 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
• cold milk as needed
• chopped nuts, optional

Preparation

• Beat eggs until foamy.
• Add the oil and sugar and hand stir.
• Add the dry sifted ingredients.
• Fold in the apples and nuts, do not stir hard, you have to keep the little air bubbles in the batter safe!
• Bake in a 9x13 inch cake pan at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 60 minutes.
• Cool the cake and ice it.
• As an optional garnish, you can sprinkle more chopped nuts on top of the icing.
• Icing Directions:
• Cream together the cream cheese and the butter, carefully to keep it from warming up too much. It needs to be a cool room temperature.
• Add the other ingredients and blend well, using cold milk as needed to give you the consistency you life. (We like ours thicker, and a touch of milk goes a LONG way, so be careful).
