L'Shanah Tovah

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year, for those who don't know.  During Rosh Hashanah one would eat round sweet food to symbolize a sweet year, apples being round, sweet, and in season are a staple.  I've made this cake to celebrate. 

Jewish Apple Cake:

4 eggs

2 cups of sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup softened butter

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking power

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 cups shredded apples

4 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon 

Begin by beating the eggs until pale, yellow, and foamy

Add in the granulated sugar, butter, oil, and vanilla

Once combined slowly add the flour, salt, and baking powder

Mix until just barely combined, then add the apples

Fold together

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon 

Ok, anyway...GENEROUSLY grease a bundt pan and pour in half the batter

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture all over the batter

Pour the rest of the batter in

Bake at 350(325 for dark pans) for 50-55 minutes 

Let cool one hour and turn onto a cooling rack or plate

Once cooled dust with powdered sugar, whipped cream, glaze, whatever you like, and EAT

I love a good cinnamon stripe :) :)
