This cake can be served immediately or after cooling, and it’s good plain or with vanilla ice cream.
2 large eggs, beaten
1½ cups vegetable oil
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups diced apples (see Note below)
½ cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9 by 13-inch pan and set aside.
Mix together the eggs, oil, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl until well blended. Add the apples and the raisins. The batter will be dough-like, and it may be necessary to knead in the apples and raisins to fully incorporate them. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are firm.
Note: Any variety of apple will work fine, but slightly tart apples will lend more flavor to the cake.
