    List of Ingredients




    Cake:
    Butter, for greasing pan
    2 cups sugar
    3 eggs
    1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
    1/4 cup orange juice
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    3 cups peeled and finely chopped apples
    1 cup shredded coconut
    1 cup chopped pecans

    Sauce:
    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda





    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease a tube pan.

    For the cake: in a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract; and mix well. Fold apples, coconut, and pecans into batter.

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.

    Shortly before the cake is done, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda, and bring to a good rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let stand 1 hour, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
