Does anyone have a great Jewish apple cake recipe?

Question

I have been looking for a great bake by scratch Jewish Apple Cake. Does anyone have a good one?

Answer 1

This cake got rave reviews from my friends and family. It is time consuming to do the apples, so don't wait until the last minute to start this. :)

Heavenly Apple Cake

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 small Granny Smith apples
3 small Gala apples
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cloves (ground)

Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.

Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.

Peel, core, and slice the apples into eighths and place in another bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice.

In a third bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the vegetable oil and 1 3/4 cups of the sugar; beat well. Stir in the vanilla.

To the egg mixture; alternately add the dry ingredients and the orange juice. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with half the sliced apples.

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle half over the apples. Cover with the remaining batter.

Starting at the outside of the pan, neatly place the remaining apple slices in overlapping concentric circles. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.

Put some aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven in case the batter leaks. Bake the cake on the middle rack for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool on a rack before you carefully remove the cake from the pan.

Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours until a pick inserted comes out clean.
