This recipe was in my Computer Binder of Recipes that I typed into my green-screened computer over 30 years ago. I do not know where it came from but it was one of Kelly’s favorites growing up. It is kind of a cross between an apple pie and a cake.
Mix Together in large bowl and let stand 10 minutes:2 medium apples chopped coarsely
1-cup sugar
This is very important because the apples make juice than helps make the right texture of the cake:
Sift together the following and add to the apple mixture:½ cup cake flower
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
Beat an egg with the melted butter and fold into the apple mixture:1 egg
½ cup melted butter
Fold in raisins and nuts if you like them:½ cup raisins—we like golden raisins
½ cup nuts
Left: mixture spread in pan ready for baking.
Right: finished baking with 2 helpings already scooped out!
Fold ingredients together just till blended. Pour into an 8 x 8 inch square greased pan. I like to melt the stick of butter in my glass cake pan then pour it into the egg. Bake in a moderate 350-degree oven till done and golden brown—about 50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Spoon into a bowl hot with ice cream or whipped cream.
