Jeff's Favorite Apple Cake

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 cups (480 ml) sugar
• 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla
• 1 cup (240 ml) oil
• 6 tbsp (90 ml) water or orange juice
• 3 cups (720 ml) flour
• 4 tsp (20 ml) baking powder
• 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
• 8-10 apples pared and sliced thin
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) brown sugar
• 2 tsp (10 ml) cinnamon
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) icing sugar, if desired. (I dont)

Method

1. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy.
2. Beat in the oil, then add the liquid alternately with the dry ingredients and beat just until smooth.
3. Spoon half of the batter into a lightly greased 9x12 baking pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula.
4. Add the apples, which have been sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Cover with the remaining batter (dont worry if it is not all covered, it spreads when baking).
6. Bake at 350 deg (175°C) for 60 min, or until nicely brown.

I have made this recipe with cherry pie filling in place of apples.

Jeff sometimes helps me and his cake for some strange reason comes out better then mine.
