Directions:

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix and sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and mace. Gradually stir in vanilla, apples and walnuts. Batter will be stiff. Spoon into greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove to rack. Enjoy!

Tastes great on a cool fall day, with a warm cup of coffee or tea and a dolup of whipped cream!

Report and Comments:

I should have used more apples to make the cake more moist. Other then that everything went smoothly. I served it to my family and they said it tasted great! Everyone enjoyed it. :)

Hey Readers,
This blog is about the recipes and food I will be preparing for my Grade 10 Food and Nutrition class(HFN20). I will be posting recipes weekly. Along with the recipes I will be posting pictures and helpful hints and (if I make any) mistakes. As part of the assignment I will be serving the food, setting the table, serving, and cleaning up, so I will also post the table layout and what people thought about the food. If you try the recipes yourself, feel free to leave comment on what you thought and maybe some helpful hint for others and I to read and use. Sometimes I may even post the approximate price to make the recipe. Please note it will be approximate... the price will be different depending on which grocery store you shop at. I will post the first recipe soon...
Happy Cooking!!
