Ingredients

10 apples approximately
2 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tbsp ground cinnamon heaping
1 cup finely chopped walnuts

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel and core your apples and chop them into a small dice. Measure out 6 packed cups of apple. If you have any left over, munch on them while your cake bakes.
10 apples
Place your apples in a very large bowl. Sift your flour, and add it to the bowl with the apples. Then, add the eggs, the sugar, the vegetable oil, baking powder, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.
2 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, 1 cup and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 cup and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients together and combine everything well (almost as though you are making a bread).
The cake mixture is now ready for the pan. Our parents usually use a deep, round pan which is about 11 inches in diameter. Grease your pan generously with vegetable oil.
Place your cake in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 70 – 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. After 60 minutes, check it; if the top is getting too dark, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Our parents serve this cake straight out of the pan. It is delicious warm, at room temperature, and even more delicious the next day.
Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer, you can bake this cake in both a bundt and loaf pan; there will be enough batter to fill both pans. If you are going with this option, reduce the cooking time to approximately 50 – 60 minutes. Again, check for doneness with a toothpick.
