Name: Walnut Apple Tube Pan Cake

Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 15 servings.
Ingredients: 3 eggs; 1 cup canola oil; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 2 cups shredded peeled tart apples; 2 cups sugar; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1 cup chopped walnuts; 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar; 2 tablespoons brown sugar

At the campground where my husband and I have a trailer, the campers hold an auction of baked goods every Fourth of July. I donated this moist tube pan cake last year and it brought in the highest bid! I often use black walnuts in place of regular walnuts because they add a special flavor.

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded peeled tart apples
2 cups sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add apples and sugar; beat for 1 minute. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and baking powder; add to apple mixture until blended. Stir in walnuts.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
Combine confectioners' sugar and brown sugar; sprinkle over cake.

This cake was delicious. It was very moist. I used honeycrisp apples. I made it in a heavily sprayed fancy bundt pan and it their new out perfectly. The only change I made was adding a brown sugar glaze while the cake was still warm.

This cake came out perfectly for me. Does it have a strong apple flavor? No, but they make the the cinnamon and nuts

This was very moist and delicious. The first time I made it as the recipe called and the second time I added some raisins to the batter. Perfect for the fall season.
