The Jewish Kitchen Diaries

If apple pie is the symbol of America, then apple cake is the symbol of Jewish America. From the “[Spice Girls](https://jfed.demo.cshp.co/jewish-kitchen-diaries-9-7-2017/)’” Israeli-American cookbook, here’s a delicious parve recipe to complete your Shabbat meal. *B’te-avon* (bon appétit)!

**Apple Cake**

Ingredients:  
 (For a 10-inch bundt pan)

3 apples, pared, cored and sliced into eight sections  
 5 tsp. cinnamon  
 2 cups + 3 tbsp. sugar  
 4 eggs  
 1 cup vegetable oil  
 ½ cup orange juice  
 1 tsp. vanilla  
 3 cups flour  
 3 tsp. baking powder  
 ½ tsp. salt

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place sliced apples in large bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon and 3 tbsp. of the sugar. Set aside.
3. Beat the eggs with remaining sugar, adding oil, orange juice and vanilla while continuing to beat.
4. Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Add to egg mixture and mix well.
5. Pour ⅓ of the batter into a greased bundt pan dusted with flour. Layer with half of the apple mixture; then another ⅓ of the batter. Pour the rest of the batter over the top and layer the remaining sliced apples.
6. Place bundt pan in the preheated oven for 1½ hours until golden brown on top. If you like, sprinkle with confectioners sugar when cool.
