Connies Apple Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Grease a 10-inch tube pan.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
• Beat 1 1/2 cup butter and 3 cups sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
• Beat eggs one at a time into butter mixture, allowing each egg to blend completely before adding the next. Beat in sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with the last egg.
• Gradually stir flour mixture into egg mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
• Fold in 7 ounces flaked coconut, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Whisk milk and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture becomes very thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool completely.
• Beat 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and shortening with an electric mixer in a bowl until mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Beat cooled milk paste and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into sugar mixture to achieve a light and creamy frosting.
• Spread frosting over completely cooled cake and sprinkle remaining 3 1/2 ounces flaked coconut over the frosting.

Steps:

• PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES:.
• Mix all dry ingredients with Chopped Apples.
• Add Canola Oil, (I make this at least 3 times a year and YES you put in 1 and one half cups of canola oil, this is a correct measurement), Vanilla Extract and beaten Eggs.
• Mix well. Batter will be stiff and a bit difficult to mix, but it is totally worth it!
• Bake approximately 1½ hours in lightly greased (10 x 14 ) pan. Start checking cake after about an hour, since everyone's stove heats a little differently. You can use a toothpick or whatever you usually do to check your baking.
• Option: Of course you can make this in a muffin pan too but you would have to adjust the cooking time.
