This is a delicious, heavy German cake that even tastes better the next day. Appropriate for a book club meeting for Sarah's Key, a heavy story that takes place in World War II. You will never forget the cake or the story. I got the recipe from Belva, my school secretary when I taught in Grove City, Ohio - another unforgettable!
4 to 5 medium apples, peeled and diced
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
Mix first three ingredients. Sift dry ingredients over the top and mix together. Bake in greased and floured loaf pan or 8x8 pan. Bake for one hour at 350 for a loaf pan and 40 minutes for 8x8. Test with a toothpick to see if done. Does not need frosting. Also makes a great coffee cake.
