What's Cookin' Wednesday: Apple Cake

"Raw Apple Cake"

This is the best recipe for an apple cake that I've ever tasted in my life. I may be partial since it was my Aunts, but I'm pretty certain its dang good. Anyone who tries it says so. By no means is it healthy, but nothing that's this delicious is healthy, is it?

So here it is

 

What you need:

2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cup veg oil 
3 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp salt
6 raw apples peeled, diced
2 tsp vanilla

 

What you do:

Mix the cut apples up in a bowl with a few sprinkles of sugar and cinnamon for flavor

Mix in order given and pour into a greased & floured bunt pan. 
Cook 2 hours (give or take 15 min) 
Remove and cool on a rack 

Icing: confectioners sugar and milk 
Apx 1 1/2 cup conf sugar and 3tbsp milk. Not really sure. I eyeball this one until I get a thick but smooth texture. Pour over cake 
(Put wax paper under it so it doesn't make a huge mess)

 

 

Serve this warm or at room temperature.

I keep it in the fridge so it stays a bit longer, and heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up!

Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce

I'm still here....

I've taken my much needed break from blogging because I've been super busy and super stressed and very tired from it all. 

We've been up to a whole lot since I last blogged. We've had end of the summer things and weddings and lots of running around. 

I went apple picking with my nephews and my mama. 

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary. 

We have had endless house showings with still no offers which is becoming increasingly frustrating. 

And we have been enjoying the small amounts of downtime we've been able to have. 

Here's look back at some of the things you've missed...

School started and I made this cute board to welcome the kids back...

This guy went away for a week for work and I missed him like craaaazy

But I got to pick him up from the airport when he came home and surprised him at the gate! 

We spent the last days of summer soaking it all up on the beach after all the Benny's left!

We did lots of grilling...including my delicious Hawaiian pork chops 

I fell in love with this quote 

I spent an afternoon shopping and antiquing with my mama and seriously resisted whatever dish type thing this is because it was $50 and I wasn't quite sure what it was...

We took in lots of end of the summer sunsets on the bay

My mom and I took the boys apple picking. I was so excited to get to pick Honeycrisp this year!!

These two were just precious picking apples. 

I made this amazing apple cake. Omg so good. My aunt wanda's recipe. Yum 

I also whipped up two quiche's that I cut and put in the freezer to grab & go

The bottom quiche recipe here

And in the same day for dinner I made stuffed peppers. So good. My fave

We celebrated an old high school friend and enjoyed sharing their special day 

Here we all are - high school then all of our weddings. 

We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary in a cute town about 45 minutes north of us. 

Amazing food - this is what we had for an appetizer. Chicken Empenadas

This amazing pizza 

And this incredible Kobe burger with Parmesan garlic fries. 

We went to a crepe shoppe for dessert. 

I had mixed berry. 

Ted had s'mores - both were amazing 

We went to a satellite Carlo's location 

And got this incredible mini mouse cake

We ended the night cuddled up on the couch watching a movie. 

I saw this and decided I need to find it 

We woke up one morning and went to let the dog out and saw this guy hanging out. 

We celebrated another couple and one of teds high school friends wedding day this past Saturday.  

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. 

So many things have been going on. 

I'm looking foward to next weekend already and truly have no interest in my job anymore. Haha 

I hope y'all have a fantastic week.

Friday Favorites!

Linking up with:

Erika & Andrea

Thank goodness it's Friday.

School started this week.

We had a staff day on Tuesday and the students came back on Wednesday.

Yesterday we were still sorting out the chaos so I'm hopeful today goes a bit more smoothly.

I'm seriously looking forward to the 3 day weekend though.

So to kick off the weekend, here are my faves lately...

~ONE~

Fall Candles

I  love Bath & Body Works candles........

but sometimes I love the smell of Yankee Candles.

They just surpass B&BW in certain scent fields.

I love their Macintosh & Cranberry Chutney.

I also love their Christmas candles....like all of them.

Only problem is they are like $30 a pop instead of 2 for $20

BUT - it's worth the splurge to me :)

~TWO~

Hobby Lobby & Kirkland's

Fall and Christmas are the best for these two!

I can't be trusted in these stores.

I have a serious obsession with both of these...

I know I'm not the only one!

Cool Summer Nights
Not quite "chilly" enough to wear long sleeves, but just cool enough to not be hot and not be uncomfortable. I love when the summer officially starts winding down...

Riding bikes with my mama

This sandwich. 

It's pulled pork with candied bacon and cole slaw.

Yup. 

~FIVE~

My Long hair!

I haven't cut my hair in over a year and I'm actually loving it. 

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday weekend!
Cross your fingers that one of these several couples that have looked at our house make us an offer! It's been a LONG 9 months on the market and this stuff is seriously getting OLD!

God Bless!
