By porklion

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 4 cups fresh apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 cups sifted all purpose flour
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 to 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• Frosting
• 1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup half & half
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla or coconut extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease a 9x13-inch pan and dust with flour; shake out any excess.

Combine all ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon. Batter will be very stiff. Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly using a wet spatula.

Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Frosting
Combine ingredients in a heavy bottomed saucepan or double boiler and simmer over very low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Serve warm over cake.
