Made a fantastic Fresh Apple Cake today & definitely recommend this recipe:



Miss Flo's Fresh Apple Cake

• 1 1/4 cups cooking oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cups flour - sifted with 1 tsp soda and 1 tsp salt
• 3 cups raw sliced and peeled apples ( Granny Smith or Winesap)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Mix oil, sugar, eggs, dry ingredients, apples, nuts and vanilla - in that order.
Pour into greased 12x9 inch baking dish or pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for one hour.
Allow cake to remain in the baking dish and cover warm cake with the following glaze:

• 1 cup light brown sugar - firmly packed
• 1 stick Oleo ( I used butter)
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1 tsp vanilla.

Combine in sauce pan and cook 2 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Spoon over the cake while both are warm.

**Cake will stay moist for days.


******************
I omitted the pecans. And used Cameo = sweet apples diced - reduced sugar to 1 1/2 cups.
I used dark brown sugar - light may be better, but it is quite good anyway.
I used a 10x10 inch casserole dish and needed only 1/2 of the glaze.

****************

Miss Flo is a sweet 87 yo lady I know and she got this recipe from a friend of hers in the 1960's.

I baked my birthday cake today (my b-day is tomorrow). DH has always done that but with his work schedule he wasn't going to have time. I baked our favorite Hershey chocolate cake with a new frosting. The frosting tastes great (you have to lick the beaters you know) but it's so soft, it doesn't want to stay on the sides of the cake very well. Here's the recipe for the frosting...

Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting
1 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt

Gradually stir milk into flour in small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until very thick. Transfer to medium bowl; press plastic wrap directly on surface. Cool to room temperature, about 1/2 hour.

Add sugar, peanut butter, shortening, vanilla and salt. Beat on high speed of mixer until frosting becomes fluffy and sugar is completely dissolved. About 3 cups frosting.



I'm going to put the cake in the fridge and see if that stops the 'land slide'. If not, we'll just spoon it over our pieces, lol.

If you all ever want some good looking new recipes for deserts, check out the Hershey website https://www.hersheys.com/recipes/en_US.html I think I gained 5 pounds just drooling all over the pictures.
