(from the cookbook of my friend', Jane's Mother)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- juice and grated rind of one lemon
- 5 cups diced apples
- 1 cup chopped nuts
I didn't want (or need) a large cake -- so, I cut this recipe in half and also made a few changes.
Small Apple Cake
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
Pour into a greased 8-inch baking dish and bake for 45 minutes. Cut into large squares - share some with Jane and the rest goes to office for snacks !!!
Very moist and not too sweet -- will definitely make this little cake again and again!
