German Apple Cake - Bundt Style
By á-5050
This fragrant cake is dense with apples, coconut, pecans and golden raisins. A sweet buttermilk sauce, drizzled over the cake while it’s still warm, ensures a moist texture. “We have a family get-together every October,” Arp says. “This cake is always requested and always a big hit.”

Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan, or coat with nonstick spray.
2. CAKE: Whisk together eggs, sugar, canola oil and orange juice in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, making sure not to over-mix. Stir in the apples, coconut, pecans, raisins and vanilla.
4. Pour the batter mixture into the prepared pan and bake 1 hour 20 minutes, or until the cake is firm and springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan on a rack.
5. SAUCE: Heat butter, buttermilk, sugar and baking soda in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring occasionally, and then remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
6. Slowly and carefully, pour the warm sauce over the cake in the pan. Allow the cake to stand and absorb sauce at least 1 hour before inverting and removing from the pan. Wrapped in plastic, this cake will keep up to 3 days.
