List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/8 tsp ground clove
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground mace
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
3 1/4 cups Granny Smith apples peeled and cut into chunks
3 tsp Calvados liquer (an apple flavored alcohol) or apple juice
parchment paper
non stick spray ("Pam", of course!)

Recipe



Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.


In a large bowl, beat together oil and sugar until thick. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, sift together both flours, spices, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the oil/egg mixture and blend well. Add apples, walnuts, liquer or apple juice. Stir until evely mixed. The batter will be thick.

Spray a 10-inch round cake pan with oil. Cut parchment paper to fit the pan and place in bottom of pan. Pour batter into pan and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick placed in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for about ten minutes. Remove from pan, remove parchment and continue to cool on rack. With a toothpick, make holes all over the top of the warm cake so the glaze will absorb. Glaze recipe is next.

Ingredients for glaze:

4 TBS butter
2 TBS brown sugar
6 TBS white sugar
3 TBS Calvados liquer or apple juice
4 TBS apple cider
2 TBS orange juice
2 TBS heavy cream

Directions:

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add butter and sugars, and combine. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat and cook 4 minutes until thickened and syrupy. It will bubble slightly.

Place warm cake on a large serving platter with upturned sides so that glaze can pool around cake. Pour hot glaze over warm cake and allow it to drizzle down the sides and into the holes on top. Pam suggests that you make an additional batch of this "magic" glaze and place it on the table so each of your guests may add more glaze to their serving if they wish. Pam says this glaze is what makes this cake soooo good!
