German Apple Cake

from my friend Michael

Serves: 24
 
Ingredients:
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 cups apples – peeled, cored and diced
 
Directions:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour one 9x13” cake pan.
• In a mixing bowl, beat oil and eggs with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat well.
• Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and ground cinnamon together in a bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apples by hand using a wooden spoon. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Let cake cool on a wire rack. Once cake is cool, serve with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar or with a cream cheese frosting.
