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!
