Wendy Wong's Apple Cake

A fellow teacher gave this recipe to Diane, who shared it with my mom.
It's a moist apple cake made in a spring-form pan. Marilyn has made it with milk instead of the suggested liqueur. I've used sweetened espresso instead of Kahlua.
Note: If you use very juicy apples, this cake can be a little "wet" and take a long time to bake. Wash, dry, peel and slice the apples and allow to drain.

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 10 inch spring form pan. Peel and chop:

  • 2 large apples

Mix together:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 beaten eggs, added one at a time
  • 2-1/2 cups flour, sifted with:
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp. Kahlua OR cold coffee OR milk

Fold in apples, put the batter in the greased springform pan and bake 1-1/2 hours at 325 degrees.
