11/4 teaspoon baking Powder

½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a Bundt or tube pan and coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Mix apples, eggs and oil with an electric mixer. Add flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon; mix well.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen:
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nut lovers can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cake batter.

This sounds divine, I've never seen a cinnamon sugar before but will look for it now. I will add extra cinnamon and hope for the best. Thank you

You are getting as bad as I am for food. I must be a bad influence on you

No influence, I'm bad all on my own.

The one in my avatar is not one of mine...there's no way she'd sit on a lit pumpkin


This is my black cat (showing off 2 of her 3 white spots). Her name is Pip.

That works for me! And that includes seafood chowder too, right?

Oh no, I like chowder so you’ll have a fight on your hands there

For the cinnamon sugar mixture, add half a teaspoon of cinnamon to the 1/4 cup of sugar.

I use a mixture like this sprinkled on buttered toast
