(Shared recipe submitted by Amy Margaret Brown-Griffis.)
Makes one 13x9x2-inch cake
Amy writes: "This is a moist cake, more like a pudding. If you have any left after the kids find it, refrigerate it. It will mold if left out too long."
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch cake pan. Combine the apples and sugar. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, vanilla and walnuts. Gradually add by hand the apple mixture and dry mixture to the egg mixture, alternating each addition. Put batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour. The cake will be on the dry side at first, but allow to cool and store 8 hours or overnight and it will be very moist. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
About Amy: It has been so much fun corresponding with Amy and discussing Pennsylvania Dutch recipes. Amy told me that she discovered the cake will mold if not refrigerated after she baked one for her husband, who ate lightly, only one piece a day, and she was on a diet and resisted.
