Fresh Buttermilk Apple Cake

This is one recipe I love. You usually have the ingredient's already. If you do not have buttermilk on hand, I read and have done this and the (cake tastes just as good). When measuring milk, leave out 1 Tbsp. Then add 1 Tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice to the milk. It works. I was sure surprised the first time I tried it!

Ingredients

Cake
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 tsp. soda
  • 1 cup sour cream (buttermilk?)
  • 2-eggs beaten
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 2 cups (2-3 medium apples) peeled and chopped
Topping:
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I use walnuts)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. cinnamon

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 13x9 inch pan, greased.

In large bowl blend 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup shortening. Dissolve soda in 1 cup buttermilk, Stir into shortening mixture.

Add flour to ingredients a little at a time and adding the spices with the flour. This way they really get mixed well.

Now fold apples into the cake batter, and pour into pan.

Topping: Add ingredients for topping in a small bowl. Mix and set aside.

Sprinkle topping over batter in pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, and enjoy!
