This German apple cake makes a moist, dense cake that keeps well. It has been a family favorite for over 20 years. It's delicious served with a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups apples - peeled , cored and diced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.

    Beat oil and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla; beat well.
