I'd like to tell you about my favorite apple cake & I wish I could show you a picture of it too, but I cannot because I blew it up on accident. You know the dinner party you go to where you really want your desert to be spot on? Well this one happened to explode 10 min. before we needed to walk out the door. Glass shards went everywhere & the cake died right there on the stovetop. See I put my nice hot cake pan on a nice hot burner & 10 minutes or so later the pyrex gave up. I felt a bit betrayed I thought pyrex could handle "the heat".
Anyway I did get a picture of an astronomy project we worked on & that would be this dandy volcano imitation of Olympus Mons, the largest volcanic mountain on Mars.
The Apple Cake recipe comes from a good friend who is a very good baker.
This one is so simple but so so very good:
3 C. Self Rising Flour
1-1/2 C. Veg. Oil
2 C. Sugar
3 Eggs
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla
3 C. Diced Apples
1 C. Chopped Pecans
1. Mix & Pour in greased 9 x 13
2. Place in cold oven & bake @ 350 for 45 min - 1 hr or when toothpick comes out clean.
3. About 15 min before cake is done combine 1 C. Brown Sugar, 1 Tbsp Butter, & 2 tsp Milk
bring to a boil & pour over cake while it is still hot.
