I curse the day my friend Teri brought this cake to my house.  Just looking at it adds 5 pound to my thighs.  This cake is heavenly, and I cannot eat just one piece, ever.  I have NO will power when it comes to this cake.  When I make this cake I make sure to give at least half of it away or I will just eat and eat and eat until it is all gone.

I mean look, you can see how moist it is just by the picture.

You need to plan in advance.  I like to make this cake the day before I serve it, however you can have it completed in 3 hours if you are in a 'hurry'.

The Cake

2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup orange juice
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 TBL cinnamon
1 TBL vanilla extract
3 cups peeled and grated apples (about 3 apples)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 325.

In a large bowl combine first 9 ingredients, mix well.  Fold in apples, coconut & pecans.

Generously spray Bundt pan with cooking spray, pour batter into pan.  Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Just before the cake is done, make the sauce.

The Sauce

½ cup butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda

Melt butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar buttermilk and baking soda and bring to a good rolling boil, stirring constantly.  Boil for 1 minute.  Leave cake in Bundt pan and poke holes in cake with a fork – pour sauce over the hot cake (in the pan) as soon as you remove it from the oven.  Let stand for 1 hour then turn out onto a rack to cook completely.

That is the way Paula makes it, I like to make extra sauce (The sauce plus and extra half ...3/4 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup buttermilk  & 1 1/2 tsp baking soda.)

I think I just gained 5 pound by writing this and looking at the picture....

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
