Oh my goodness. This is one of the most delicious apple cakes I have ever tasted. It’s not difficult, and it’s worth the time to bake it.

on) 1 cup chopped nuts 3 cups self-rising flour 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix together corn oil, sugar and eggs. Add rest of ingredients and pour into tube pan. Bake at 325º for 1½ hours. Note: You can add 1 package of chopped dates and 1 can of coconut, if desired. You can also use any kind of fruit instead of apples.

For the glaze: 1 stick butter or maragarine 1 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Bring ingredients to a boil for 1 minute and then pour over still warm cake.
