If you love a dense, moist cake, you'll love this recipe. This apple cake is filled with nuts and coconut and topped with a caramel glaze. You might even want to make extra glaze to add to individual pieces. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3 eggs
1¼ cup oil
2 cups of sugar
2½ cups self-rising flour (please see note below for a substitute using all-purpose flour)
Two medium apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. I used pecans in this post.
Caramel Glaze
½ stick butter
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F.
Grease and flour a tube cake pan.
Mix eggs, oil, and sugar until creamy.
Add flour a little at a time and blend well.
If you do not have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour using the following directions. For one cup of all purpose flour add 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
The batter will be stiff using both types of flour.
Fold in apples, coconut, and nuts.
Scoop batter into the greased and floured tube pan.
Bake for 1 hour. You want a light brown color. Use the tooth pick test for best results. My oven requires an extra 5 minutes.
Cool in pan for 30 minutes and then remove.
While cake is cooling for the 30 minutes, prepare the caramel glaze.
To make the glaze -
Combine butter, brown sugar and milk in a heavy sauce pan and boil for 3 minutes stirring constantly.
Pour warm caramel glaze over cake.
Enjoy!
