Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Peel and core your apples and chop them into a small dice.  Measure out 6 packed cups of apple.  If you have any left over, munch on them while your cake bakes.

Step 3

Place your apples in a very large bowl.  Sift your flour, and add it to the bowl with the apples.  Then, add the eggs, the sugar, the vegetable oil, baking powder, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.

Step 4

Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients together and combine everything well (almost as though you are making a bread).

Step 5

The cake mixture is now ready for the pan.  Our parents usually use a deep, round pan which is about 11 inches in diameter.  Grease your pan generously with vegetable oil.

Step 6

Place your cake in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 70 – 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. After 60 minutes, check it; if the top is getting too dark, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Step 7

Our parents serve this cake straight out of the pan.  It is delicious warm, at room temperature, and even more delicious the next day.

Step 8

Enjoy!
