Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350. Grease a 10-inch tube pan, dust lightly with flour, tap out excess - set aside
In a bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, baking soda & salt. Set aside.
In an electric mixer, cream together butter, oil, sugar & vanilla until light & fluffy. About 2 mins. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Working in two batches, incorporate dry ingredients into butter mixture. Fold in apples.
Spoon batter into the prepared tube pan. Combine remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon & raw sugar and sprinkle over cake. Bake until top is golden & a tester inserted in cake's highest point comes out clean - about 1 hr & 10 mins.
Allow cake to cook in pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a plate, right side up. Allow to cool completely. Whisk confections' sugar & milk together in a bowl to make icing & drizzle over cake.
