APPLE CAKE- Jennifer

  • 4 cups sliced and skinned apples
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take a 13 x 9 baking pan and grease and flour it.  In a large bowl mix all (except the apples) ingredients together.  When the mixture is well combined, place the apples in the bowl and lightly fold, making sure the apples are well spaced out within the batter. Pour into baking pan and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

PUMPKIN SPICED FROSTED SNACK CAKE – Melinda

  • 1 package spice cake mix
  • 1 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup miracle whip (or no name)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 package cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 butter or margarine
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups icing sugar

Oven at 350, grease 9×13 pan.

Beat cake mix, pumpkin, dressing, and eggs in large bowl .  Pour into prepared pan. Bake 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out dry.  Cool completely before icing.Beat cream cheese, butter, milk, and vanilla in large bowl.  Gradually add icing sugar.  Spread over cooled cake.  Store any leftover cake in the fridge. With this cake I found the 9×13 pan made the cake too thick, so I used a 9 x 13 pan and an 8 x 8 pan — then the cake was thinner and they were nicer to put on a tray (you could use a 15 x 10 pan if anyone has one!)

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp vinegar

Mix well again with a wooden spoon….do NOT beat !  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
