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....
